PE, I don't have URL to verify the news from Business Wire but I do know today's news from Business Wire saying, "Techmedia, an international manufacturer of high performance computer system, notebook announced it is shipping the next generation of its signature system - the new MediaPro Olus and Media Pro II Plus featuring Intel's Pentium/PII processors and AMD's K6 MMX enhanced processors." I believe that AMD's K6 processors are K6 233. Best wishes James

PE, RE: evidence of 233 parts being sold. I've had my k6-233 system for just three weeks. Had to pay 359 instead of 319 for the CPU. Big deal. Many third tier manufacturers in San Diego are selling K6-233 systems and they will sell you processors for 349 to 359. I have seen email from AMD investor relations that the overall yield has improved and that they are awaiting results of the mask fix in November to correct the speed bin problem. This could be a disasterous quarter Give thechipmerchant.com until mid November. Of course by then there might be an announcement. If no announcement and no improvement at thechipmerchant or pricewatch, I'm reluctantly bailing. Petz

TO: PE RE: " based on this historically reliable indicator." HUH? What? It was right once. A stopped clock is correct twice every 24 hours. Just suppose, as another contributor to this thread has suggested, that AMD gets their production levels of K6-233 and K6-266 parts up to levels sufficient to satisfy Compaq and that Compaq takes substantially all that AMD will produce. I suspect that TCM and most of the vendors reporting on PriceWatch would report a derth of supply. AND AMD WOULD BE MAKING $MONEY$ HAND OVER WALLET! {From this thread to GOD's ears} Regards, DARBES
