Re: "There will be faster and slower ones for sale, but as the process gets totally(if ever) defined they will find they have no slow ones to sell and loads of fast ones. Since they all have the same cost they will mark some slow and some fast. So overclocking a 350 to 400 is perfectly good technically and since it is a 400 chip it will run fine." Close Bill but not quite. There will always be a speed distribution, so as the process matures the distribution will move upward to a high of 450mhz, not to a 100% binsplit at 400mhz. There may be some cross shipping going on i.e. 400s sold as 350s but how can you be sure which one you have? EP
