RE:"The "limited production" of 1.0 GHz PIII sounds like more of the same baloney we have been watching for months now. Intel is pulling every stop to create a small volume of fast parts. In contrast, Athlon has been ramping up extremely conservatively. Where is 800 MHz?" That's what I make of it too. People will return home from the Intel lovefest forum all pumped up. Reality will set in when they call the distributor and still can't even get a Floppermine 800... These demos look great but also look like attempts by Intel to freeze the market..."just wait, remain loyal, we have this really cool chip JUST around the corner" "Buy one P-III-600 get one free, we have millions" (TM-Intel).
