Should wanta' Lexus, RE:"Maybe you're missing something, Jim. As chips finish manufacturing, they go through a binning process, at which time they are marked to indicate the highest speeds capable by the processor. In some cases, demand for lower frequency chips outweighs demand for the higher frequency chips. In this case, you may find chips that have multipliers artificially set lower. In this case, however, I think that demand for high frequency chips seems pretty high, so I don't think you will see many chips that have the multipliers set lower than what they are capable of". I understand all that. I figured like you said, some chips are downbinned... So when is the last time this could be done? Can it be reversed? Jim
