>>I do understand how Intel can be yielding 1 G parts and yet nada between 800 to 1000. How do you skip speed grades in the chipmaking process? Can someone explain the seeming contradiction. Thanks. Ted- One possibility is that Intel made a choice to put its manufacturing efforts into a 1G chip because it wants to break the 6 month cycle of playing catchup to AMD. If high availability of 1G's from both companies occurs within a month of each other, the strategy will have worked. Intel can go back and pick up the 800-1000 gap later. If AMD turns out to be six months ahead in good availability, it will have been a mistake. Before you go tearing this up too bad, remember that I am just trying to come up with an explanation. Frank
