Jim - Re: "If Intel had kept the socket seven PentiumMMX what speed do you think they would be shipping now?" The clock speed could go higher - at least to 300 MHz. But the performance of a 300 MHz Pentium MMx is not as good as an equivalently clocked Pentium II. Re: "Could Intel not be producing chips that a lot of people want? Hummm." Intel's product portfolio is both broad and deep. I'm sure that, somewhere, some supplier is bemoaning the fact that 80286 CPU availability has dried up. Time marches on. Cling to the past and you will be left behind. Paul
