<font color=darkgreen>1.667Ghz A4's due in a couple of weeks. I believe this info to be true. "By: sdwalks $$$$ Reply To: 83351 by sgolds $$$$ Sunday, 19 Aug 2001 at 3:04 PM EDT Post # of 83378 sgolds, use the Tyan S2462 "Tiger K7" The Tyan S2462 will be available in quantity inside of the next 2 weeks in North America. (already being sold in Asia) The chipset is AMD 762 with AMD 766 southbridge, It's a Dual CPU motherboard, but, doesn't need to have 2 CPUs installed. Takes 2G of 2100 DDR SDRAM or 4G of Registered 2100 DDR SDRAM. PC2100 DDR SDRAM is now easily available in 512 meg DIMMs. AGP takes workstation cards and PCI is 64bit. There isn't much that can't be used with the motherboard as long as it isn't ISA. Cost is between $250 and $300 To go on that very nice motherboard. Why not consider an Athlon MP 1.533Ghz which is now on PriceWatch. There are also Athlon4 1.533 and 1.666Ghz CPUs available about the same time as the motherboard. (the MP is better with the cache) ragingbull.lycos.com So we've seen 1.533Ghz MP's and now desktop A4's of 1.533 and 1.667Ghz coming soon. M.

Dan, Re: And what is this stuff you keep posting about Intel "including the better cooling solution?" When the Pentium 4 was first announced, there was a big to-do about the cooling solution, and Intel had apparently put forth a lot of research and effort in providing adequate thermal management. At the time, Intel's heat sink seemed very robust, but since then other 3rd parties have caught up, and now offer similar solutions. Check out some of the early Pentium 4 reviews, and you'll see more in-depth accounts, that describe the large copper base, and circular fin arrangement. I don't know if all OEMs are using this solution, but I had assumed they would; else, why would Intel have gone through the trouble? wanna_bmw
