Gopher: The only concern I have is that I think Intel are also playing their cards very close to the chest at present and we may see a pre-emptive announcement from them (Cumine 766?). And how do you propose Intel get's 766 out of a 133fsb. Are you suggesting that Intel is going to start using .25 bus multipliers.. I have my doubts on that. No sir, 733 and the next part is an 800mhz. Steve

Gopher, <we may see a pre-emptive announcement from them (Cumine 766?).> It does not look very likely. At least not in this quarter. First, 733 is 133x5.5, therefore the next stop is 133x6=800MHz. Second, according to ixbt-labs.com they were able to overclock Cum-667 to 715 MHz only, or 7%. Please note that their board allows for 1MHz increment in system frequency. Therefore 733 + 7% = 785MHz, and apparently 800 MHz looks somewhat beyond the reach of Intel standards of bin splitting.
