RE:"On another note, I believe that large OEMs will take more time than usual to qualify the PIII 750 and 800s in their systems due to the use of notched gates; especially with the recent Stutterbug."...

Yes, they will likely study the few samples they get very carefully and by the time February rolls around they may be able to get a few more samples...

Re: "If I were Dell, I would be oven testing the damn things myself to

Make It So,

Considering the dual-boot PIII problem wasn't found until AFTER Dell shipped some machines, I wouldn't be surprised they don't.
