Scumbria: <<WHy would they sell a 380 MHz AND a 400 MHz chip? Paul, The only rational reason I can think of would be that yields at 400 MHz are very low.>> No. It is a classic strategy of REVENUE MAXIMIZATION. If you introduce the 350 and the 400 then you are competing head to head with Intel products. If you introducing the 380 then you BLOCK the CeleronA 366 before it comes out and put the PII-350 in the backseat. Remember MHz is Intel's game and AMD is mastering Intel's game with the introduction of K6-2-380MHz. Maxwell
