Hopefully Intel will allow the > PPro to run at 233 and 266 in the future. but this is NOT the way intel works. they are PROFIT driven. they don't want to compete with themselves (ie make the PPro competitive with the PII). I hope I am wrong, but I don'e expect to see the PPro go past 200mHz. If they do, expect the prices to be rediculous! -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
