Paul, 1.13 GHz P3 is defective, even with an Intel engineer "at hand". Just read the following articles: tomshardware.com "It turned out that the kernel compilation failed on all three Pentium III 1.13 GHz samples in Kyle's lab, right in front of the eyes of Intel's engineer. My CPU happened to be the flakiest of the three, as it failed in other tests on different platforms as well." hardocp.com "Linux Kernel Compilation My Original CPU: Test NOT RUN. This due to us NOT having the benchmark at that time. Tom's CPU: Would NOT complete kernel compilation. Anand's CPU: Would NOT complete kernel compilation. My Returned CPU: Would NOT complete kernel compilation." Demand for these defective parts must be really outstanding. No doubt that's why IBM isn't accepting any more orders and Dell admits that they don't have any parts available for another >30 days. But who needs Linux anyway? Andreas
