what does "cpu hsf" stand for? I know that the P4 2.4 Mhz is going to be released imminently. However, I don't quite understand why Intel doesn't release the highest speed grade available right away. I keep waiting for the deathblow on AMD...the reality has been more like a slow strangling...permitting AMD to gasp a breath now and then. I know Intel has to get enough parts to satisfy all OEMs, not depreciate inventory too quickly, etc., etc., but the recession would have been the ideal time to kill off all competition. I am afraid a rebound in the economy will give new life to the competition. Intel is in business to make money, not to kill AMD. The trick is to keep ASPs as high as possible. Releasing higher speed bins too quickly would only harm ASPs. Intel is toying with AMD right now. They can easily release much faster parts any time they want to, as these overclocking experiments show. Why bother when AMD is having such troubles with .13u? BTW, I don't know what "cpu hsf" means.
