Interesting post from Ibexx over on Intel 9/24/99 - GamePC Announces First Coppermine Pentium III-Based Systems; Higher Bus Speed Allows Maximum Performance and Futur PALO ALTO, Calif., Sep 24, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GamePC has announced the first ever systems based on Intel's Coppermine Pentium III-processors, running at 600 MHz. These new processors run at a 133 MHz front side bus speed natively, allowing incredible performance and total compatibility with current 440BX motherboards. GamePC's new 50 Caliber system will be based around these new processors, equipped with two Pentium III 600B processors running in an SMP configuration on top of a Asus P2B-D dual Slot-1 motherboard. Included in the system will be 256MB of EMS PC133+ HSDRAM memory, which has been proven to run at rock-solid levels at and above 133 MHz. Users will also have the freedom to custom configure the systems on GamePC's website to suit their specific needs and wants. "Intel's Coppermine processors have really surprised us, giving a significant performance advantage over not only current Pentium III's, but also AMD Athlon systems at the same clock speed," says Chris Connolly, Head of Web Operations at GamePC. "Almost every BX motherboard currently produced supports the 133 MHz bus speed, so users won't have to upgrade their motherboards to see significant performance gains." Intel's new 533B and 600B are also available currently on GamePC's website for order, users can upgrade to a faster processor and not have to worry about having to upgrade again once Intel i820 (Camino) motherboards arrive later this year. Intel i820 motherboards will use 133-MHz as a native front side bus speed. Ibexx

Don, RMBS can double in a month. A "possible scenario" could be a continued decline to about October 5th to October 8th, ample time to set a bottom at my target of about $61, and then a first rally attempt to the low $70' and decline back to retest the low and set a nice double bottom, by, let say, October 15th to the 22th, leaving us two to two and half months to make back all the recent losses and then some. So, it is not impossible, we did this trip once before this year on about the same time schedule. Of course, if this contraction in the general markets starts and evolve into a bear market, all PE's will contract markedly and thus RMBS will have a much harder time. Remember Don, you are the one that taught us to "never say never". Zeev
