michael, thanks for great news from Holland about Athlon availability. <K7 500 is dirt cheap, and lots of em seem to exist.> I don't think Athlon 500 systems will sell well, so the Tier 1's are passing on them and all of them going to retail. Kind of like the K6-3-450 which was faster than a PIII-500 but SO WHAT. <K7-550 is competive with p3 550 (about 20-25% cheaper)> that would put it at about $425 here <the 600 is slightly cheaper compared to p3 600 (about $50)> or about $640 The $$$ equivalents may be higher or lower than the amounts I calculated above but I would expect relative pricing of Athlon/Intel to be similar here when chips are available. How much for the motherboards? Petz
