Engel, re:Petz - "Trouble is, these 500 and 550 floppers are competing against 500 and 550 K6-2's, since Athlon's below 600 are no longer being sold."

Engel: <Duh !!!! These are 0.25 Micron Pentium IIIs - NOT COPPERMINES !!!>

Sorry charlie. I'm seeing lots of ads for 500 and 550 MHz PIII systems -- these are Coppermine Flip Chip PGA systems. You might remember that the 0.25 Pentium III 500 and 550 chips were discontinued to Gateway's chagrin.

It is certainly stupid of Intel to be trying to sell Flopper 500E's and 550E's when they are introducing Celeron 600's.
