nus - The K6-3 is going to be a "Hot Number" Looks like the power requirements may be tricky - I wonder why? anandtech.com Powerleap Update - 02/21 05:30 PM - Michael Andrawes I spoke with Powerleap regarding the inclusion of an overclocked K6-2 processor in our evaluation unit and they assured us that it was a simple mistake and that they do not sell anything that is overclocked to the public. I've updated the review with that info. "They also mentioned a couple interesting products they're working on. The first is a K6-3 400 upgrade. While the current adapter should be able to handle a K6-3, they're reworking it just a bit to insure that the voltage regulator can supply sufficient current for the K6-3. The other thing they mentioned is an upgrade for Pentium Pro systems based on a Celeron 433 or 466 PPGA CPU. This is of course intended to compete with the PPro Overdrive. This kit would give higher clock speeds, but less cache. As always, we'll keep you updated with any other information we hear. For now, it's back to that history research paper. " Paul

bad nus - Re: "Quinlan, deserves a pulitizer nomination. He paints Intel as a modern day corporate dictatorship, Lead by a perinoid Central European, who used restrain of trade, fear tactics, threats money and power to selectivly economicly punish and company which dared to break rank in Intel plot to dominate and control the PC market. Where in World History have we hear this senario before. How could Grove have used the same tactics used by the Natzi's which he himself was pursequited under during his youth, here in our own free country?" Congratulations. Your reading comprehension is even WORSE than your spelling. Paul
