Question On pricewatch I see
the Pentium III 866 mhz 133bus for 47 dollars (866/256/133)
the Pentium III 850 mhz 100bus are 84 dollars (850/256/100 )
Is the price difference because of supply and demand or is there
another reason for this ?
I just obtained a dual processor Alton motherboard and after
installing my one and only Pentium processor 477 mhz I want to use
the dual board for a wile .
I'm not junking my 1700 AMD OC'ed to 2.2 mhz that runs like clockwork
on a ASUS motherboard . But just flound this price difference as
weird or hard to grasp !
I would haveposted this question on the Question PIII news group but
cant seem to find one ??

The reason for the price difference is that there are far more boards out
there that are in need of an upgrade that will run a 100Mhz FSB than there
are boards that will run a 133MHz FSB. Therefore the 100Mhz FSB CPU is more
in demand. Most people running a board that runs at 133Mhz already have a
CPU equal to or better than the 133Mhz unit.

Not always....I had a Coppermine PIII 1000 133FSB that I ran at 156FSB /
1170Mhz for 2 1/2 years with just a Golden Orb cooler and stock voltage.
Ebayed it when I went to my Barton 2500.

OK Thanks for the info . I just was trying to get a better
understanding of it .
