Ian, Thanks for clearing up the CPU/Camino/Rdram question. What will Dell ship first with Rdram? Likely a PIII 550?

Ian, <Celeron, PII, and PIII processors are all available in Slot1 format, and are plug compatible. I belive Coppermine is planned for the same format, and could plug in the same boards as the older processors if the motherboard was originally designed to a high enough speed specification.> I believe CuMine is available mostly in PPGA. There may be some Slot1s but Intel is getting away from Slot1 because of cost issues - just like what happened to Celerons. <Thus any OEM who was planning a design using Camino and Coppermine, can ship it with a 550Mhz or soon 600MHz PIII processor, and see significant speed benefits over a BX or ZX system.> Scumbria, whose is technically no slouch, and a whole bunch of motherboard people seem to say otherwise. The only real improvement that people seem to be comfortable with is in the AGP-4 support. Care to point to some data which supports what you say? Thanks, Chuck
