Steve, <motherboard manufacturers are stuck with inventory and no chips,> Your humble opinion is not well justified: Intel
still produces Pentium-MMX in significant quantities, at
least 50% of their production (according to Microdesign
Resources), which could be around 10M per quarter (this
quarter at least). Therefore, these boards can be well
populated using alternative CPU (Intel :-) and sold out
without problems.

Steve; We get people asking for the chips. Usually techies/hackers as they know they can still overclock them but Intel you cannot in addition to the better speeds.
