Re: "For instance, last week someone returned an Abit BH6 motherboard that they had overclocked with a Celeron 300A processor. This person only bought the board from us -- complained that after a few days the board stopped working. So, we assigned an RMA number. When it arrived, techs put it on a bench and set up our POSTPlus diagnostic card, memory, power supply, etc, and when the power turned on it caught on fire." Looks like those BH6/Intel-chipset based motherboards are a real fire hazard! Wouldn't want one in my home or office, that's for sure. Kevin

The Celeron 400 is still a stealth chip in San Diego. Of 18 storefront Computer/Parts dealers that sell CPUS, only 4 advertise the Celeron 366 or 400, but 12 advertise the K6-2-400. The two biggest dealers for CPU's are Fry's Electronics and thechipmerchant.com. Fry's told me they haven't received one chip yet and neither has thechipmerchant. Your "sold out" hypothesis is all wet, because vendors would still advertise "call" to sell their weekly allotment. Petz
