RE:"The PR rating vs MHz problem would have been of no consequence if their FPU throughput was adequate."... Scumb, yes, at that point in time but now the M-II has fallen way behind in PR, Mhz and Winstone...so it has no redeeming values at this time to warrant a premium ASPs. Meanwhile Halla-Gobi is still scrambling to get a new chip, any new chip, out. When they do it will help but I feel the MHz deficit will still not enable it to get a decent ASP. Intel and AMD will be at >500 and NSM will be around PR 400-433 so even with an FPU they are way behind. Jim
