Jozef, there are several good reasons for a 66 MHz bus. First, it helps differentiate the PII 350+ series (the 333 and below will likely be history). Second, 66MHZ SDRAM is widely available, has fewer compatibility problems and is very inexpensive. Third, the optional Slot 1 version will help burn up existing LX chipset and mobo inventory. And finally, in its portable incarnation ("Dixon") it will use less power. IMHO, Intel isn't out to win any speed wars with this chip. But in both low-cost business PCs and in home gaming systems, it could easily prove to be Intel's top-selling CPU. Craig
