        Because they had shortages of the higher speed L2's!

              I think the space above your table is a problem with ubb. I haven't found a way to fix it.

                    Sorry, Alessandro!

                    I couldn't wait anylonger!!! I found a good deal on a 650 (for $299). I've heard that all recently fab'ed Athlons are now 0.18µ. Here's hopin the L2 cache is high quality. Besides, when Q3 rolls around I'll build another one with DDR-RAM support, blah, blah, blah... No really! I told myself last August that I'd build an Athlon by Jan-Feb timeframe. The next greatest thing is always "just around the corner." I want an Athlon NOW! (even though I'm going to have to wait until next month ;-)

                      I'm also in the quest to upgrade my system and its seems i'll way i month or two more to buy the ASUS K7V and the first Full Speed Athlon it comes out(i hope the 850Mhz one ).
                      $299 for a 650 one!!!!!!!!!WOW
                      You americans are very lucky.
                      Here in the UK(i'm a student) the Athlon 650 cost £408(in a good deal) ...thats $671 to you .
                      Anyway...if INTEL doesn't make a drastic price cut at 27 of January and the RAMBUS memmory a 50% price cut one i'm buying a Athlon system next month!

                        I nabbed an Athlon 650 and motherboard for an outragously low price through a 'special', but very legal, purchase program (I love having connections in the retail world). My chip should be in within a couple of weeks, then it's off to the races. I wonder how fast I can get it using Greebes Athlon toy?

                            Here's a great resource to find out what is hidden underneath that new Athlon cover.
                            http://www.ocdbase.com/

                            looks like my new chip is a bum week - guess I'll have to take it back tomorrow...

                            PS - Check out that week 52/53 Athlon 550!
