Elmer, just in case you or anyone else missed it, the bottom of the VIA chipset announcement had the price and availability: The VIA Apollo KX133 chipset is manufactured at TSMC in a .35 micron, 3 metal layer process. Samples are available in 8'99 and production starts in Q4'99. The VIA Apollo KX133 chipset is priced at $34 in OEM quantities. Seems like samples will be available this month and production starts Q4 1999. I wonder when motherboards and/or systems featuring this chipset will go on sale. Perhaps Q1 2000? And can someone tell me what the going price of the 440BX chipset is, as well as the starting price of the 810e (should be similar to price of 810, whatever it is) and 820 Camino? Tenchusatsu

Elmer, I know you are not worried about the Athlon (yeah right!). But you had better be worried about the Biathlon and higher multiprocessor systems. I would suggest that you secretly buy some AMD, but I'm sure that you already have. Pravin.
