Yousef, the K6-3 prices will head down soon I wouldn't be so sure about that. SIMD + no CPUID may command a hefty premium. Scumbria

Yousef, "I'm sure that was just a "Freudian" slip, Jim ... But I'm sure you are right that the K6-3 prices will head down soon." --- No, it wasn't a slip. I think AMDs K6-III prices will settle down. As in lower than 375 for the 450 and 305 for the 400. When they do you'll know supply has picked up. Unfortunately for Intel, they will have to drop prices on the Pentium II and then they will have 2 (Celeron and Pentium II), not one chip, to cannibalize the flagship (Pentium III), which may end up plagued by the CPUID. Like I said and Paul incorrectly interpreted, "Intel is setting its own trap"... Jim
