Since a 550MHz K6-2 and not K6-2+ came out yesterday I thought I would get a K6-III 450 because it would probably be faster than a K6-2 at any MHz but Pricewatch is basically out of them, except one vendor selling them at an unrealistic price of $186.

Yeah, I also blew the k6-III opportunity. Last month, when the rumors started on k6-III discontinuation, I almost bought a 450. But I decided to wait for the k6-2+. Now they are gone. I only paid $60 for the 500, so it's not a big deal. I have doubts about how many SS7 users would even upgrade to k6-2+. Hey, if Intel is coming back to socket 7, maybe I can get a cumine!!! <g>
