Or that it might appear to work, but cause obscure bugs. I would guess that we wont see any official 233mHz PPros, now that the PII is available, and intel is struggling to make the PII look attractive from a performance point of view. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
