PE, <<233MHz devices are simply non-existent through distribution and machines at this speed are no longer advertised at least in the Bay Area. >> Good to see you around here!! Below is the e-mail from AMD I received today re K6 systems: ------ As a subscriber to AMD Updates, we want to personally let you know that K6 based, IBM Aptiva Personal Computers are NOW AVAILABLE at a retail store near you...

Patient Engineer - re: "...233MHz devices are simply non-existent through distribution and machines at this speed are no longer advertised at least in the Bay Area. " I have seen these for sale constantly at the T-ZONE near Fry's in Sunnyvale - most recently in some off-brand PC named DRAGSTAR. They had 8 boxes on the floor last week (233 MHz), and never seem to have a lack of K6 based machines - either off-brand or, occasionally, ACER. Paul
