Kevin, Halla said they are going to Slot 1 in addition to their integrated chip efforts. You can't use integrated processors for this. National is "actively looking for a partner for P6 bus CPUs" since the company's Taiwanese customers are asking for it, Halla said. eet.com Bob

Kevin, With respect to NSM's efforts on the MediaGX, Multiwave just posted a new product by GCT--the MediaGX 233MMX. With 2 PCI and 2 ISA slots the MB sells for $150. What is rather interesting on this board is that the spec sheet identifies various options available including a 266 MHz version and cache sizes from 512K to 1MB: direct.mwave.com Anyone have any idea who GCT is? Could it be a sub of NEC or Acer? Could this be the board that Packard Bell is using? Tom With respect to the PR233/266/300, etc., perhaps NSM believes that it can be a player at the right price point with these products right now. That these processors are showing up in PCs sold at Best Buy (the Packard Bells) and in off-brands being marketed by Computer City, (I believe) demonstrates that their strategy is working. Whether they are making money on these products is another thing altogether. The answer to that question is buried deep in the current agreement with IBM (which apparently has a steady use for their share of CPUs). IMHO.
