John,

We all know the real reason for Intel to stop overclocking is to force hobbyists to buy their $400 - $700 processors.

It is always a brilliant strategy to remove value from your product line. Didn't Intel try this once with the original Celeron?

If Intel continues to devalue their entry level products, they will continue to lose market share. Consumers are not interested in succumbing to cynical marketing strategies, when they have a choice.

Re: "Actually, I've heard that Intel uses different speed SRAM's in the Pentium II's depending on the speed rating. "

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
