Does any one have any idea when these chips will be released? I'm getting very impatient. Humor me if you have to.

One retailer on pricewatch said the 6th of Feb and another said the 15th.

ZeroBurn · Jan 31, 2001

word is they're shipping out next week or the week after, whether they're worth it is the question now

The price premium seems to be minimal.

Should be sometime in the near future, hopefully.

I have one... 1.2GHz unlocked. Put it in, lowered the multiplier, raised the FSB and bingo bango an Athlon using a 266 FSB.

I thought Athlons ran at 100mhz fsb??? Fill me in?

PsyNinja · Feb 1, 2001

they run at 100mhz DDR = 200mhz FSB
the new ones are 133mhz DDR = 266mhz FSB

I've read today that they are available in Japan today ! Shouldn't be too long.
