I got "G3 computers are selling fast" from this source: biz.yahoo.com Notice the quote in the second paragraph. It's really not surprising considering the (relative) success of Mac OS 8. I'm really not worried about Intel producing .25 micron parts in quantity. I have no doubt they can do it. I have quite a bit of respect for Intel's manufacturing prowess. What I do doubt is your completely uninformed opinion regarding IBM's .25u process. Apple only just announced G3 computers on November 10 (and, as you said, it takes a quarter or two). I'm not sure why any of these chips would be selling in retail yet--Apple doesn't have a very big market for that type of thing. Just FYI, a Pentium II 300, which has been around for a while now, sells for $557 at the Chip Merchant. The brand new 275 mhz PowerPC G3 is $520. chips.ibm.com
