RMBS 150, but the vols have exploded as a result. Still, I now have a limit order in for some March 105's. My limit includes an embedded IV of over 100% (!), but both bid and ask are substantially higher. Whew! -mb
PS - wait -- 160 on the way?  Steady.. steady.. yes.
C'mon, market maker, where's my fill?

As we both know, (and the market doesn't seem to), Intel's problems are plentiful. The Athlon kicks Pentium butt big time. Intel tries to appear competitive through "yield picking" but this is a mug's game, and won't hold up.
As we both know and as the article you cited demonstrates, the Intel "shortages" are strictly a "can't-supply-Athlon-competitive micros" situation.
Do you want some Pentium 2s? We can ship them by the car load (AND WE JUST REDUCED THE PRICES,....TWICE). Do you want a high speed Pentium three that competes with available Athlons? Uh, sorry, but "supply is tight" (what A JOKE). How about slower Celerons? Bring your pickup truck and a credit card.

I'm currently writing about our favourite memory producer. More shortly (g)

The 1.5 ghz chip is a lab wonder. Don't hold your breath for this one. The local cloner can't get 3/4 Ghz Pentiums, never mind double that speed.
Strictly a bragging rights situation at the moment.
