kash - <I had also read that Intel had published pricing for 850/866 for feb 27 as well as the price reductions. So clearly they did not introduce the product.> No they did not. You want to know why? The launch was not scheduled for February 27th, and never was. The PRICING document is just that, pricing as of a certain date, looking forward to the next scheduled pricing interval, in which, the part in question is included, as the interval encompasses the impending LAUNCH date. The LAUNCH document, says something entirely different; always has. So, to head off the next round of rumors and Intel bashing a few months out; the pricing document also references an intro price in late May, that has been reported / rumored at some high profile rumor mongering sites. HOWEVER, the LAUNCH document for the same part of interest indicates an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT and LATER date for the actual launch. Unbelieveable. Magee and The Register strike again. I'm just catching up on the threads after a few days "off", and I don't believe all the flap over this misinterpretation. I wonder why the LAUNCH document didn't get leaked. BTW, I have yet to see the CORRECT launch date for the PIII 866 actually reported. And no I'm not going to say what it is. It's soon enough. PB
