I believe this is clear: In desktop microprocessors, the new core stepping will be specific to the Pentium III in the SECC or "slot" package. --- The author is wrong. Did you look at the link I provided? It points you directly to Intel's documentation on FC-PGA PIIIs with the new (cC0) stepping. I would like to know though how this change will result in fewer 866MHz chips though... I don't know, but did you read the link? Intel specifically states (without explanation) that there will be a limited quantity of 866/133 CPUs for validation. - Eric
