So is everyone else. Just when all the mobo and boxmakers get geared up on the COppermine, Intel slips the Willimena out?

BTW, I hear the K8 will be launched in the Spring...maybe that will give Willimena a run for the money...
I feel sorry for those who buy a Coppermine...<G> Intel bulldozes everyone...if true..

Here's the deal on register

If you use his search box and do a search on Sherriff (the author) you find all-kinds of goofy stuff. There's a Pete, Lucy.Piemonte Tomasso Sherriff, etc. For example:

The Register's own (is he our own?) Pete Sherriff said that when AT&T spun off Lucent, the internal codename for the logo was Ring of Fire. Nuff said

, The Register called upon its in-house scientist, Lucy Sherriff, to dig beneath the spin and examine the scientific evidence....The Tecno Ao device contains a super-saturated crystalline solution which can be tuned to resonate at a particular frequency. In this case, it is tuned to 12Hz, and the solution reacts to the magnetic fields the same way as the human body does, and resonates at 12HZ, stimulating Alpha wave responses in the person sitting near the device.

Intel did create an Overdrive for the Pentium Pro, allowing systems to be upgraded to a Pentium II/333 with full speed on-die cache, our Mr Sherriff points out
theregister.co.uk

the Sherriff's trusty calculator puts this at just a shade over 500 of your English pounds.

The guy offering the Seattle Mobo from Intel (Pete Sherriff) has still to adjudicate on your answers to proxy servers.

Please email him herePete Sherriff and remind him that he has to make a decision, and that decadence is not enough. (BTW, Pete Sherriff and Lucy Sherriff are entirely different creatures).

Now, all UK Intellers are forced to live in Swindon and must therefore travel from Paddington to get there from London. The Sherriff, living in the wilds of Wales, must also catch his train here.

Lots more. Looks like a joke. I bet his sitting back with a grin watching all the clicks on his site!
