Joe, 933MHz has thermal problems In other words, like the 1GHz PIII's, the 933 MHz PIII's are not functional at temperature. More indication that Intel is seriously overclocking their parts, in a desperate attempt to keep up with AMD. From the availability in the stores, it is very clear that PIII's natural yield point is below 750MHz. Whatever improvements that Intel has made in their current production, will not be able to keep up with manufacturing from Dresden. I expect Intel to remain at least 5 speed grades behind AMD until Willy. Scumbria
