Gopher, What if AMD is holding on to the 900 versions and above so it will have inventory built up for the launch. That sounds viable as one fine day they will need them. Of course if every part is a 900 meg part that is not a problem. Bill

Unlikely. AMD is not selling any higher MHz parts because they don't want to destabilize the market. Holding on to them for later would be illogical. They could be sold now as 800s for a good profit. When 900MHz is introduced it will inevitably depress prices and the 900s will probably sell at the same price as 800s do now. Gopher, thanks.....I didn't realize that wafers yield chips at high Mhz's in the initial stages of production; I thought the process was tweaked in order to work up to the higher speeds. I appreciate the info. Hans, I think you have your answer. ted
