Scumbria - C'mon AMD! It would be nice to get back to break-even, while my INTC is running away. ;-). PB

Scumbria, I was talking to some Gentlemen in Beaverton, OR yesterday who knew a Willamette Engineer. They said he (The Willamette Engineer) hated to admit it but he really likes the Athlon processor. The also said he didn't talk too excited about Willamette. Consensis is mounting that Willamette won't be that exciting. Milo

Meanwhile, the flood of 800 cumines on pricewatch has abated somewhat, the ~$800 part is off the board, leaving a couple k-cumines up there, $1002, $1006. rook.pricewatch.com@ctd+3+AND+@contents+PENTIUM+AND+@contents+III+AND+@contents+800*&catd=3&cn=Microprocessors+PC&cr=Microprocessors+PC+Pentium+III+800&n=54&CiCodePage=Windows-1252&a=2 I'd noticed the first k-cumine listing yesterday, it's oddly dated 2-11-00, but was remiss in not posting the early siting. But of course, as you've noted, the limited listings are just because Intel can't be bothered, what with shipping all those gigacumines to Compaq, HP, Dell and etc. The gigacumine machines are all boxed and ready to ship from the OEMs! Elmer saw them, right up there on stage! Anybody remember the PPro 200 supply crunch? After a slow start, where the PPros were briefly selling for less than the contemporary Pentium 200, I think because of some 16-bit compatability botch that made the PPro slower than the P200 on some Win95 stuff, there was a real crunch, and the open market price went to 2x the list price, somewhere around $1200. That was late fall '96. I think there was a lot of back-channel OEM dumping onto the spot market, which no doubt annoyed Intel greatly. Of course, on that one, there was no doubt about Intel's ability to produce the parts, just a big spike in demand. Cheers, Dan.
