Steve and Elmer - <Will Intel merely sell the 733's as 550's. (100 vs. 133 Mhz FSB) or will Intel recommend a VIA chipset and sell the parts at 733 (and consequently much higher prices). I know if I was Intel the choice would be easy, I would say sell them at 733Mhz. However, I'm not sure if Intel much likes the idea of having to recommend VIA chipsets (ESPECIALLY after their i820 turned out to be junk).> 1) Why couldn't Intel 1) keep any possible 133 FSB parts for when the fix is in. 2) Stop blowing fuses for 133 and start for 100, now, still a month away from launch, allowing for the speculated on higher speed bins kash mentioned? I have no idea if this is a strategy that is even considered. PB
