StockMoron, Based on your cumulative posts, I would have to say that you have absolutely no clue about anything. You don't know jack about production process, the cost of production and the price of chips. I think I'm a little more in tune with the details than you think. The reason why AMD is only producing a limited number of 166's is because they have fixed their yield issues on the 233, just like I told you 2 months ago! The small fallout from the 233 speed bin is marked as 200 or 166 and sold to a limited number of Tier 1 customers like ACER, DEC and IBM to name a few. AMD has an agreement with the Tier 1 customers so they get the fallout. This helps to eliminate the gray market on AMD CPUs. Un-reputable people, such as yourself, would just take the slower parts and remark them as 233's. These overclocked parts would fail and create false reliability issues in the field, giving the naysayers more ammunition. You've never posted any useful info, so why don't you just go away. K6-300 and K6-3D is around the corner and you won't have anything to say. Just save yourself some ridicule right now. Bye Bye StockMoron!! Profits
