Did I get my 600E just in time

[Biff]

I was at the local pc store I use, and the owner there told me all p3 600 and above will only be available in EB!

[AuraEdge]

Nope..I think non-b's are available up to 750Mhz...
up from that, I think Intel is dropping the 100FSB.

I reckon he's talking skcollob - probably making an excuse for not ordering correctly: after all, he wants to sell you a chip, right?

I did have a bit of trouble finding a 550E in the UK, but I got one and it does 733 http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

There was no shortage of suppliers in the US with 550 & 600E's. Shop around!!!

What exactly is the difference between an E & EB...I take it it is the fsb or cache size? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

B is 133 FSB ie for a 600 4.5*133
E is coppermine .18 micron @ 100mhz
EB is coppermine @133 mhz FSB

No designator indicates original PIII @100mhz

100mhz is better for ocing

AuraEdge are you not partially agreeing with me, quote: I think Intel is dropping the 100FSB

I couldnt find one at all couple places I called said Intel was dropping them. I bought a 550e 4/1/00 for 237 waiting for it. I have seen oem but dont want that.
