No more 1.6a's :(

[Athlon4all]

Not at all suprising. Intel wants people to buy the Celeron's And plus, the 1.6A was never a mass product for the OEMs for Intel, cause I have yet to see a single first-tier OEM use the 1.6A.

I think Intel was nice enough to make the 1.6A just for us overclockers!

Wingz, since you and pm are our unofficial "Intel Ambassadors". Thanks from all of us! I think the 1.6A will be an even more legendary CPU than the C300A.

Hey Wingz, is it really true you can RMA a P100 and get a P100 back? Heh...

 

[Wingznut]

I doubt you can RMA a P100... I don't think any are still in warranty.

But if so, then yes you could.

These people are claiming to have 256MB 32 bit for $149 in stock.

Cant link directly because they use frames.
Just go to memory. RDRAM, 1066

 

[FishTankX]

Hmm, I heard that you can't RMA a pentium 100, but can RMA a pentium60. It has something to do with it's FPU bug. Lifetime RMA>

Is that right?

 

[Wingznut]

Something like that... But I don't know the details of that situation.

 

[FishTankX]

Hmm... just one more question. What does intel do with all of those 1.6As once the 3 year warranty expires and they still have a stack of 'em? Just throw 'em out?

 

[Wingznut]

That's a good question... I don't know, to be honest.

Realistically, they probably have an accurate prediction of how many they'll need... And more than likely, there aren't a whole lot "left over."

mushkin is selling 32-bit rdram

 

[Bozo Galora]

the "CM8" "will run at 1066" at Mushkin is not what I personally am looking for.

I want "CN9" for my soon to be P4T533(no "C") purchase (true 32ns)
link
Note that same descriptive nomenclature part specs used for both 16 and 32 bit.
I have found CN9 at only one place (overseas - at an outrageous price)
There is NO CN9 advertised on Pricewatch, only CM8
Corsair is reportedly ready to release 30ns 16 bit.

many places are advertising Samsung CM8 as 1066 RDRAM, and while technically in spec, it may be the problem going on with some people and their P4T533C booting probs.

Luckily, I grabbed my 1.6a a few days ago!
