@Process/Bin's - Pete/Doug
I haven't read through all pages the last days, but a few
times I saw a few comments about low Bin's at D0 (90nm).
Thats not what I could see through my own experiences and
through some boards.

Last test system on my hand:
Nforce 4 board - 939 PCIe - 3000+ D0 - KW 50, UPBW

The machine shipped fast, so I couldn't test this fully.
Reached easily 290Mhz HT, asych. DRAM, 2600Mhz with
1,45V with air cooling. Temperatures at fully load around
40°C. CPU did'nt reached the end, my guess is, that 2700-
2800Mhz with more voltage is "easily" reachable.

To get a feeling, what new steppings could do, read here:

@ALL - would do think about the "tech/Semi" - Stockmarket?

Pete,

Maybe they run some wafers with process parameters optimized for yield, and end up with bunch of mid speed parts, and another set of wafers with very aggressive parameters to reach high clock speeds, and on those wafers, they get only a handful or 2 of good die... If Dell says they want them (or else) Intel has to do it.
