Lots of places are already selling them. From a local place I deal with a lot

dgraphics.mb.ca

The Xeon 450MHz 2M L2 Cache with Heatsink $6,499
Intel Katmai 500MHz 512k, 100MHz FSB $1,269
Intel Pentium II 450mhz MMX 512K Cache $949
Intel Celeron 300MHZ W/128K $139

Personally I would go with the Intel Celeron 300A for $139 and overclock it to
450MHZ. But if you have a spare $6500 sitting around go for the gusto.

Best Regards
KEITH
How involved is overclocking?

Dave,

Its using a smaller transformer and larger solid state voltage regulator. I've seen this type of design. I know they cost more. Can't discuss the merits of either design. I don't know any PS designers. maybe someone else can comment...
