First Katmais filtering in...at 500Mhz bxboards.com Katmai!! 9th December 98 I've been sent a report on a couple of 500Mhz Katmai's that a large US retailer (who I will call Satan) has acquirred. Some interesting stuff (pics soon!) -It's an SECC2 cartidge with the new H-PPGA(OGLA) CPU package. It's a tiny little blue core about 3/8 of an inch square. -The cache is SEC 4ns with the following markings... SEC KOREA 840 KM736V604AMT-4 -There is a Chip on the BACK of the PCB that has the S-SPEC (which is NOT listed on top like the 350MHz SECC2 carts I have) and has the following markings: S82459AD 8844PE79 SL2WF INTEL (m) (c) '95 I honestly have no clue what this chip on the back is, maybe you can let me know? :) I'm guessing it's the EEPROM that is rumored to be on the CPU's. But on that same note, I have done a quick overclocking check on my ABIT BH6 with GY BIOS, and it is NOT bus speed locked, but it is multiplier locked. I was able to boot up Win98 at 560MHz (112x5) with a 2.2 volt setting, and it was stable for the 20 mins I had it up. Setting it at 100x5.5 resulted in just 500MHz. I have stepped it down to 103x5 at 2.0 volts (which the BIOS says is 522MHz? but ctcm16n says correctly 515) cause I have no clue how good this fan is and don't want to fry this CPU the first day I got it :) The BIOS doesn't say Katmai or KNI or anything of course, just PENTIUM-II MMX at 522MHz

O'Neill - Welcome back - How's your $122 and $140 Amazon short positions? The $122 is almost back to the $100/share loss with Amazon at $218+/- today. Thinking about shorting Intel again? Go for it - you can get rich quick - just like the last time you shorted it - at $94! Hey, it's only up $22 since you did that ! {=====================================} To: Paul Engel (67944 ) From: John O'Neill Thursday, Nov 5 1998 10:49PM ET Reply # 67971 of 67972 Paul...I tell you what.... As I said I have 500 AMZN short at $122 &change and 20 $60 June puts on McDonalds. Today I shorted 500 INTC at $94 intraday. I will post to you when I close all or part of these positions but not until then. Again these positions are a HEDGE against a severe market correction.........In the case of AMZN, I think it's overpriced with competition. With INTC, who knows?
