Re: "I'm sure Camino will support two Pentium III's - and the 500 MHzer will most likely over clock to 533 MHz." Paul, if the clock multiplier is locked, going from 100Mhz to 133Mhz bus rate will boost the internal speed to 665mhz. That may be asking a lot. EP

Paul - RE: "I'm sure Camino will support two Pentium III's - and the 500 MHzer will most likely over clock to 533 MHz." But if you get a PIII 500 now you will be running on the BX chipset. If you plan to move to the Camino platform, you will need a new motherboard and new RAM. But then why would you want to run the lowly PIII 500 (compared to PIII 533) on a newer system? You will want the PIII 533 to fully exploit the Camino's capabilities. How does it feel to be screwed?
