Intel Unveils Fastest Chips, Sees 2 Gigahertz Soon Monday July 2 8:31 AM ET news.yahoo.com SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) on Monday introduced its two fastest chips, running at 1.6 billion and 1.8 billion cycles per second, and said that the company would offer a 2 gigahertz chip later this quarter. The world's largest maker of chips used to power computers said that based on robust yields -- or the success it was having in manufacturing new chips with few defects -- the company plans to accelerate the timing of the release of its 2 gigahertz chip to sometime during the current third quarter. The new Pentium 4 chips running at 1.6 gigahertz and 1.8 gigahertz, or billions of cycles per second, are designed to power the world's fastest desktop personal computers. Pentium 4 chips are geared to business users that run the latest data-intensive software programs and for consumer PC users who run demanding digital video and audio and three- dimensional graphics used in advanced video games. The Pentium 4 1.8 gigahertz chip is priced at $562 in quantities of 1,000, while the 1.6 gigahertz version is priced at $294, again in quantities of 1,000.

Thanks for the info PMW and Pete. I'll relay your messages to him. I think I need to clarify some of the info I have relayed. Yes, he has already formatted the disk and it won't let him install windows. Since it is hardware can you access the bios without a system even being present. He has tried removing the batteries to reset the bios settings to their default values but that didn't work. He has not yet tried resetting the jumpers. I'll try to get a more specific error message when I hear back from him. tc
