Gary, PentiumMMX-233s could be taken to 291.5MHz and these were made on .35u process. I'd even venture to say that if Intel had stayed with socket 7 we'd see 333+ Mhz PentiumMMXs on the market right now. What makes you think AMD could take the K6 to 333 and higher and Intel couldn't have taken the PentiumMMX there? As it was, the PentiumMMX overclocked very well. If cooling helps Slot one get a speed grade higher and the P2 is currently at 450Mhz then a 400Mhx PentiumMMX seems to even make sense. Of course, I'm not the one that said that. Jim
