- Which chip was released? Who can get hold of one? Which *version* of
- the chip is it? Is it the one that will fit into the "P24t" sockets
- on the existing 486 motherboards (I doubt it - that would cut into
- their 486 sales - that chip will probably follow *far* down the road).
-
- Was there a press release? I can't believe that Intel would start
- shipping and not have a huge press release (or did I just miss it?).
