Jeff - Re: Call it an very educated guess. BX parts (I suppose) have been in manufacture over two months. These parts are going somewhere!" Guess where one of the 440BX chips went? That's right - Tom Uberclockermeister has one for testing purposes! No results as of 2/10/98 - but he's uberclocking the heck out of it! Paul {============================} tomshardware.com " Right now I am running benchmarks on a BX chipset board. Wow, a BX chipset board !!! Well, it runs wonderfully at 300/100, 350/100 and 400/100, the only problem was getting some SDRAM that talks to it at this speed. Unfortunately I can run the tests with only 32 MB, because I can only use one DIMM slot and I couldn't find any SDRAM 64 MB DIMM that would run reliably at 100 MHz. Anyway, I'll tell you latest by tomorrow how much difference 100 mHz bus speed really make. Let me know if there's any particular benchmark you would like me to run. I've also got a cool Socket 7 CPU here that's talking 100 MHz, but the new board that's here for running this CPU doesn't like me or at least it doesn't like any of my SDRAM types (and believe me, I've got quite a few). I don't want to tell any names for obvious reasons. As soon as I've got a decent Socket 7 AGP board that does 100 MHz bus speed reliably (and this means e.g. not running Winstone only half, in case that sounds familiar to you), I will post the results ASAP."

Jeff, Got your point about Intel introduction scheduling. Of course, with their size and the demand involved, they couldn't do it any other way. "Well we have this new 400 MZ chip available today, and we made 50 so far. Is there any demand out there for more." Customers would be beating down the doors like they did for Christmas rush for Tickle Me Elmo, Power Rangers, etc. ..But my question is can I get a motherboard at 100 MZ in the next few weeks or do I have to wait till April 15th. Regards, David S. Long on Intel, Iomega and curiously Neomagic
