Cirruslvr, <Where did you see 733 mentioned? The article I just read said 700.> The article said 700+. 733 is what I hear. My understanding is that CuMine-128, Cascades and all laptop chips will have 100MHz FSB and scale in 50MHz increments and CuMine (or CuMine-256) will have a 133MHz FSB and scale in ~66 MHz increments. (I wouldn't be surprised if this goes down to 33MHz increments but that is not my understanding) Not sure if the 133MHz buys much on CuMine because of the on-chip 256K cache but Intel is doing whatever it can to differentiate between consumer/business/server segments - not an easy task. Chuck P.S.: AMD and VIA are aiming on countering the low-end by moving to 133MHz FSB on K6 and Cyrix families.
