re: "I started wondering if Intel is delaying this stuff on purpose - to continue selling more PIIIs and to avoid celerons cannibalizing PIII sales at these speeds (to maintain reasonable ASPs in Q2)." This would give evidence of inteLligence at management higher levels at inteL.....NAW!!!!! Regards, DARBES

Hi Goutama I`ve suspected Intel cutting Celeron shipment already in Q4, when Gateway stated the lack of processors for their sweet spot range. Obviously GTW couldn`t get enough Celerons. I wondered if INCT was trying to force OEM's to buy more PIII with higher ASP. Intel claimed unexpected high demand. But growth was (only) 8% (revenue 99Q4 Y/Y; see Tad's post. BTW, 26% over two years). Hmmm. Is this unexpected high? Thanks for your kind words. For the 2Q-EPSContest I`m not yet sure which board (JC or SI) I'm going to drag down. LOL I encountered the AMD 29 bitslice processor -as you remembered correctly - powering a workstation called Lilith. It featured GUI and mouse device back in 1980. Boris
