The HP Pentium-III-600MHz gets lonely squeezed between HP Athlon-700 on the top, and HP Athlon-550 with K6-2-500 from the the bottom. Ali, That's called a sandwich...no wonder the cumine isn't happy. No one wants to be in the middle of a sandwich ;~) ted

Re: If you don't want to wait for the new 800MHz processor, you can order a Dimension XPS B system with processor speeds of up to 733MHz... Looks like they're only charging about $320 for the extra 67 MHZ - they must have plenty coming next month! Intel is a great company, and I hate to underestimate it, but every bit of evidence sure seems to show only limited yields at 800MHZ. And not much through the next month, either. At 1 FAB production was at 1 million good dice per week, a while ago right? So those chips should be out there by next month. But a month from now, Dell still wants a $320 premium to go from 733 to 800? Maybe 90% of Dell's customers only want the fastest speed, are willing to wait forever, and pay no attention to cost. But last quarter's revenue figures seem to put the lie to that particular fantasy - and Dell must be delighted that now most of their customers are going to refuse to buy anything but 1GHZ - which ships in volume in Q3!.
