So the Gigahertz PIII is just following a grand tradition :-)

Your post is another great example of why this list is so much fun. I know a little about the MPU business and how it got to where it is today, but so many posters here know so much more than I do, and I really enjoy the chance to follow the discussion and learn more about both the technical and business sides - and, of course, it helps us all make better investment decisions.

Thanks for your post,

Dan
