Re: say they'll ship it today!

That's been there for months. It's been a bit hard to figure, since no one else has had 1GHZ parts. Either they're fibbing, or IBM doesn't sell many high end retail PC's anymore.

That "ship today" isn't news. Or new news, at any rate - like a two headed snake, a 1GHZ PIII is always news.

During what year will we routinely see 1GHZ PIII's on a store shelf? 2001? 2002? How long ago was that thing announced?

Elmer,

What Intel calls a 1GHz PIII, by most standards would be considered to be an overclocked 833MHz part.

The voltage is elevated and the operating temperature is reduced, well beyond the bounds of normal operation. AMD could ship 1.2-1.4GHz parts right now, if they were willing to sink to the same low standards.
