<--OT---> Intel to ship 500 MHz Pentium II by Q4 Have you seen this??? New package for Pentium II By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM August 14, 1998, 4:00 a.m. PT Starting in the fourth quarter, Intel will begin to deliver the Pentium II processor in a new package that will allow it to push chip speeds to 500 MHz and beyond. The plastic Pentium II cartridge--slightly smaller than a cassette tape case--used inside computers today will become smaller with the new design, according to an Intel spokesman. Most of the changes, however, are not cosmetic but substantive internal modifications that affect the chip's performance. The company is changing packaging materials, as well as altering how and where the different microcomponents surrounding the Pentium II attach to each other. In the end, the chip will still be based around the "Slot 1" design of Pentium II chips today, but it will be more efficient because it will increase the flow of electricity to the process...

I, OT Russia - There are a substantial number of people in Russia as it is the largest portion of the old USSR. If that economy fails in its efforts to switch to a Democracy (no easy task, remember 'WE' grew up with Democracy) it could well resort back to Communism. Should that occur, the Cold War would likely be resumed. Resumption of a 'cold war' would very likely dampen the 'world' economy that has been developed. If countries were to 'nationalize' the companies that have been started by various 'outside countries', those investments would be immediately lost to the investing company. That would mean that the plant that DELL built (is building) in China could all of a sudden not be DELLs any more, without payment! That would be a kinda' spendy lesson! Many of the Russian people, especially the Army, have not been paid in months! These are the guys with the GUNS! And how many months could you go without income? Scared yet? I think that for the Russians to succeed in their effort is in all of our interests. JMHO Regards, Ken
