Jim, Re: "Yousef, as usual ..." I'm sorry, Jim ... You are wrong if you are disagreeing that the 350mhz K6 has less margin and yield as compared to the 300mhz or 333mhz K6. The fact is that there are two yields to worry about 1) Functional yield - determined at slow speed conditions and nominal voltage conditions. 2) Speed bin yield - determined after Functional yield tests. This test is at speed (+- guardband) and with voltage schmoo (typically +- 10%). Thus overall yield is (Functional yield)*(Speed bin yield) ... The fact is that the speed bin yield will be higher for the 300/333mhz K6's as compared to the 350mhz K6. Jim, it's just Physics. In the future, please stick to your "chicken bones". Hope this helps. Make It So, Yousef
