Hi milo: Re: "Never in my many years of watching and reading about this industry, have I seen Intel commit so many mistakes and so close to each other. If you believe in Murphy's Law, you could argue that Intel had it coming. After all, no company can ever stay at the top forever." Comment (1): And you gotta know once errors begin they have a way of multiplying and just when you think you got them resolved, up pops another to take you back to the drawing board... Comment (2): Just as it takes a great deal of time for the Queen Mary to reverse direction, it has taken Intel a great deal of time (the seeds were planted ling before October 1999 and the botched (thanks Bill) gate PWeeIII fiasco) to manoevre itself into its current state of disarray. It is highly unlikely that it won't take a great deal of time to sort out the current disarray that is clearly evidenced by current events at Intel!

Milo, Sorry if duplicate post.. Don't have time to read 200+ posts tonight. Thanks for the post, great find. On the many messages, I've discovered that if you ignore Paul and any messages to Paul......you have about 1/2 the messages to wade through.... On another note, Sharky's prices: sharkyextreme.com This week marks the first time this year (sounds that bit more dramatic than 'this month') that CPU prices have slowed their fall. After a solid month of price drops to the AMD's Athlon lineup and Intel's slow but inevitable response last week, both manufacturer's prices are leveling off and even bouncing back a bit, especially on the Intel front. The so-called 'Price-War' must be taking a week off? The Pentium III 600EB/133 rose by $36 and the very popular Pentium III 500 'Flip Chip' also jumped by $37 to $260. This is likely due to consumers picking up on its excellent overclocking record. Although Intel's 800MHz is now making appearances in high-end OEM systems (e.g. HP's), the CPU is yet to be put on sale due to limited quantities. AMD's Athlon prices remained fixed with three exceptions, all at the high end. The 700MHz, 750MHz and 800MHz all fell a few dollars. But if you're looking to get one of the high-end Athlon's our tip would be to wait just a little bit longer with prices due to fall (more on that another time). -Scot
