Except that the availability is likely to be minimal once they empty the warehouses out since their current processor roadmap shows the current Pentium II (233/266/300/333) being discontinued shortly after the introduction of the Pentium II 350/400.

Most likely something to do with yield and profitability on the former since Intel has opted for discontinuation rather than price reductions to allow its entry into the higher volume mainstream markets.

>The Pentium II should drop significantly in price in April, when the 100MHzbus comes out, along with the new 350's, 400's, mobile Pentium II's and the cacheless Pentium II. No other price decreases should be before that, unless the Mobile Pentium II's come out a little early.
