Goutama, IMO Circuit City is trying to get those Dust covered Piii's out of the warehouse as they are taking up space for higher speed grade Athlon based systems.

Goutama,

Why would someone walking into Fry's buy a 700 MHz PIII system, when they can get a 1GHz Athlon?

The Athlon system is almost 50% faster than the PIII clunker!!!

Goutama,

Paul has promised 815 based systems from 600 MHz - 933 MHz.

This is only slightly slower than the current spread of 600 MHz - 1GHz.

I believe that the 933 Mhz system has already been bought, and is being delivered to Paul's house tomorrow. It will be installed in the workshop, and used to drive the auto-router.
