TigerPaw, re:<Intel won't have anything above 500 MHz until near the end of the 2nd quarter>

You said The Katmai does not need Camino to run. It could be plugged into any existing Slot 1.

True, but the first >500 MHz Katmai is the 533, and that comes out the same time as the Camino chipset in June, ergo, 500 MHz is the limit until at least June. Katmai and/or BX chipset is probably incapable of 5.5x multiplier, and even if not, the Katmai 500 is multiplier-locked and likely bus-locked.
