T, Funny you should mention that... It's pretty much proven that Intel has to down-bin high speed parts to fill lower speed orders. About 98% of P-II-300 Deschutes chips will run at 450MHz... On the lower end, Intel continues to pit the CeleronA against the K6-2 and the war continues to get nastier. From Pricewatch... CeleronA 300 $80 (I've seen them for $79) K6-2-300 $80 Celeron 333 $93 K6-2-333 $98... And Intel will supposedly make 8 million Celerons this quarter... If they do it without margin erosion it will be an amazing feat... As far as clearing out high end inventory, that's an interesting suggestion...they can always down-bin... Jim
