Mani and Kash - RE K6-2 475s At Pricewatch, the K6-2 475 page filled MUCH faster than the K6-2 450 page filled up when it first came out. K6-III 400s have been in high availability for some time now, but as Kash has said, the lack of K6-III 450s isn't pleasing. On JC's page (http://www.jc-news.com/pc/), a vendor has told JC there will be a K6-2 500. By looking at processor availability, that makes sense.

kash - "I am still concerned about the lack of k6-3 450's etc but overall things look better than they have for a while." I claim no semiconductor knowledge, but it is really odd to me that the K6-3 seems to be barely showing up at all. It was touted for such a long time, supposedly before the end of 1998, and they are barely producing any. Does this not concern you regarding AMD ramping a new chip, in a new facility, on a new process, with new materials? Do you think they will succeed? If you do, why so? Thanks.... Joe
