steve - <I have a Celeron 333 and PC100 memory (at 66) running on my Abit BX6R2 board, will the first Coppermines drop right in?> I'd love to comment, but I can't. I really expect Intel to start communicating with the press regarding the roadmap within the next couple of weeks. PB

Steve, re:<will the first Coppermines drop right in? [to my BX motherboard> Nothing faster than 600 MHz, apparently, and certainly not 733. You have to use a 100 MHz FSB version of the CuMine unless you want to overclock your BX chipset and your AGP bus by 33%. Intel apparently does not intend to release a 650 or 700 MHz CuMine, leaving that speed area to the 666 and 733 CuMine. They might change their mind, but I would expect a 256K full speed L2 cache to be inferior to a 512K half-speed cache -- when the multiplier is greater than 6. Petz
