RE:"What do you base it on? The availability is still very limited in the aftermarket, which is a good indicator of how plentiful the chips is"... Oh, little things like FAB 12 making 1 million good die in a week with a sweet spot at 550-600, Dell's going to offer Dual 600 Pentium IIIs, Dell offering competitively priced P-IIIs to Gateways low end Athlon offerings. Other sources. I did say "low end" P-IIIs. Intel might even have a bunch of CXT type core chips...remember when AMD was pumping out a lot of K6-2s with the new core thinking they had a 400Mhz (approx) sweet spot? They sent all those good die to final testing and what they got back was a bunch of 300-333s they had to dump to the likes of e-machines. Not sayinfg this is happening the same way to Intel but e-machines is one happy camper... <G>
