<Meanwhile Athlon pricing has been holding firm.> That's pretty easy to do when your supply is so freakin' low that you can't meet demand. How are those K6-2 and K6-III prices holding up? Oh, they're still falling, I see, even though the supply for those chips isn't going up any. Tenchusatsu

Dan, <Meanwhile Athlon pricing has been holding firm.> This is not true. They have been falling fast - my understanding is the 700MHz speed grade is being phased in ahead of schedule. Chuck

Dan Re: "Meanwhile Athlon pricing has been holding firm." There is a market for an Athlon processor if, and only if, there is a stable motherboard that will cold boot the system. Because of the lack of a stable motherboard that will cold boot a system with an Athlon processor has very little demand. Of course you could always remove and place the Athlon board into an oven to warm it up so that it will boot. But most people find this too much trouble. Dan, do you recommend the oven procedure for your work?
