Cirruslvr,

<I think 400MHz K6-III being gone is good. It is larger and probably lower yielding (because it is larger) than the K6-2, but at its current price it costs the SAME to purchase as a K6-2! >

Are you saying K6-2 and K6-3 prices are SAME? If so, where? If not, I am not sure what you are saying.

Chuck

Cirruslvr, re:< Now they gotta finally come out with the K6-III 500

And also 550s. Most of the posters on the other message boards have been reporting that Athlon 500MHz parts were actually down-binned from 600MHz. IMHO, with K6-III 500 and 550, AMD can phase out Athlon 500 and 550s. This would allow them to reduce prices on the higher speed grades of Athlon while easily maintaining current level of Athlon ASP (blended).
