Craig, K6-III/450 prices have fallen Given that this product competes with Intel's much higher priced PIII product, there is clearly a limit on how much the price will drop. You should also note that AMD's highest priced product is more than double the price from last quarter. Overclocking may be an interesting topic of discussion, but has little impact on sales. (Except in the case where pirates were remarking Intel product at higher speeds.) Scumbria

Craig, RE:"Not that it matters much when you can get a retail CeleronA/400 with fan for $157, push it to 450-500MHz, and wait for the forthcoming K7/Coppermine battle to play out"... What happens when your peripherals crap out when you run them out of spec at 37.5 or 41.75 MHz because you are running at 75 or 83MHz bus? My Maxtor HD won't overclock run for instance. Not only that but the later Celerons and PIIs have the CPUID imbedded. No thanks... Jim
