Re: "Those 8 million Celerons you refer to were sold at the expense of PII, not K6." Then how do you explain this: theregister.co.uk Posted 01/12/98 12:16pm by Mike Magee Shortage of PII 333MHz and 350MHz now acute Demand for Pentium II 333MHz and 350MHz has so outstripped supply that there is an acute shortage of parts, a distributor has warned. Two weeks ago, Intel admitted that there was heavy demand for the PII processors, while yesterday it said that the PII 233, 266MHz and 300MHz were not now generally available. At the time, Intel said that supplies would begin to catch up with demand in a few weeks, but Mark Davison, processor product manager at UK distributor Datrontech, said today there is still a shortage. He said: "The shortages are still bad. My order book is strong but there will be a lot of people that can't ship machines before the end of the year." Datrontech, he said, was trying to move its customers to the 400MHz and the 450MHz parts, but the difference in price between the 350MHz and the 450MHz PII is around £100. ®

New NEC/Videologic PowerVR2 3D chipset has 3DNow support: 3dgaming.com Hmmm, the spec sheet mentions 3DNow and Pentium II optimizations, but not KNI. Diamond Monster 3D II card (using 3DFX Voodoo2) joins other 3DFX-based cards with 3DNow support. Also ATI already has two interations of 3DNow-optimized drivers for the Rage-PRO chipset (All in Wonder Pro, Xpert series, etc.). 3DNow is promised for the Rage-128 chipset as well. Matrox has G200 drivers with 3DNow optimization Nvidia also supports 3DNow for both the TNT and the 128ZX. See 3dnow.net to find your 3DNow drivers. What does that leave, but the Intel i740. <gggg> Petz
