Craig - Re: "Paul, maybe the public got smart and decided that the performance difference between 350MHz and 400MHz wasn't worth >$100 " You're on the right track. Since Compaq was the only major OEM to use this part, I think the BOX MAKERS made the decision that a 400 MHZ K6-2 wasn't worth much more than a 300 or 350 MHz K6-2. After all, they each are stuck with a fixed 100 MHz L2 cache speed. Sharpy is late. The later it gets, the cheaper it is going to sell for. And Sharpy is late. Only 6 more shipping days in 1998. Paul
