John, Re: "CPU's being sold as 333's can be overclocked to 410MHz. However, HARDLY ANY of them will operate above that. As Yousef said, that will require a re-layout." Petz, I never said that ... you have me confused with Maxwell, he's the one into the "architecture thing". BTW, PROCESS NEWS FLASH - from Yousef@MakeItSo.com "Intel will present a paper at the VLSI symposium (early June) where they will describe reduced gate linewidth for their .25um process. This will now give them about 15% - 20% improvement in CPU speed due to increased FET (P & N) drive currents." Petz, remember how important I told you that device characteristics are to determining CPU speed ... this is how Intel will get 400mhz - 450mhz PII parts. NOT by simply overclocking existing PII's. Also what should really scare you is that this process improvement work was done in Santa Clara at their D2 facility ... Intel has two (2) very good process development sites. Make It So, Yousef
