Burt - Re: "hey told him that today was the last day that they are taking PII orders! " This certainly is PLAUSIBLE. Dell claims to have a 6 1/2 day inventory of components. Thus, with just a little advance notice to Intel, they can notify Intel to STOP shipping Pentium IIs and START shipping Pentium IIIs. Since Pentium II motherboards, chip sets, etc are all compatible with the Pentium III, I think only BIOS chips need to be changed. This is the BEAUTY of the Build To Order/Direct model - Great for DELL and even GREATER for Intel - since those that use this BTO aren't sitting on 3 months worth of "outdated" CPUs. Paul
