Re: "So what's changed that could cause this decision? Either there's been a change in product availability due to manufacturing issues, (which doesn't make sense, since they're already shipping), or there's been a change in availability due to "ID" issues. Or maybe the OEM's don't want to ship product with the current version of the chip? Another possibility may be that the Ad content threw gas on the "ID" fire, and the availability story is a cover-up for pulling the ad's. Or suppose they've decided they need to eliminate the "ID" feature completely?" Maybe they haven't lined up enough (finished product) software support yet fo their big intro. Or maybe the PIIIs we're seeing on pricewatch aren't really PIIIs at all, but are actually remarked PIIs. Who would know the difference when there's no software out to test SSE, and when the chip otherwise benchmarks identically to a PII? Kevin
