Yousef, re:I'm sure that a lot of 166mhz CPU's were produced by AMD, but many of these parts were not "wanted" (no demand) and are probably still in inventory waiting to be "written off". On the contrary, the 166's have always been selling at well above list price. A new IBM computer using the K6-166 was just announced (less than $1000). Furthermore, the 233 chip IS slowly becoming more available. The K6-166 chip is in such high demand that thechipmerchant removed them from its price list, just like they did when demand was higher than supply for the K6-233. AMD's success going forward depends ONLY on production. The 3D K6 chips in 1998 will sell like hotcakes if they can make them. Petz
