Scumbria, RE:"Prices start at $869 ! What justifies this price? PIII performance is imperceptibly better than PII. "... You see, you know TOO MUCH. All the consumer sees is the numbers. First it's Megahertz sells (Notice P-III is at 500, Intel has learned this lesson well) (TM Jim McMannis), now it's III is better than II. It's all in the numbers, man! I can't wait for the new benchmarks that ZD/Intel comes up with to "prove" you just gotta have dis here CPU. Stay tuned. Meanwhile the proverbial "boner" has popped up in the form of the ID on a chip. Rather than retool, Intel will see if they can cover it up. If they have to they will permenently disable to feature.
