RE:"What's your SPIN on why the Kmart 63 is nowhere to be found in PCs?"... K6-IIIs are easily found. Just not the 450 yet. Two reasons that you might think they aren't. 1. Market moving to low end. K6-2 is the better deal. Higher MHz as well. 475 vs 400. MHz sells (TM-McMannis). Box makers like the K6-2. 2. AMD is intentionally ramping the K6-III slowly. For some reason you think they intended a major ramp quickly. They only have so much fab space and the K6-2 is selling well. They also need space for the K7. Also makes sense to take it easy until they can get good yields on the 450 and a 500 lest they be stuck with a bunch of 400s. Jim
