I know what you mean. Right now it looks like the PIII 1.13 listing is 
showing S (512K L2 cache) PIIIs but I *have* seen them, in the past, 
listed as '100 MHz FSB' even though no such animal exists. When you'd 
check the actual listing it would be something else with a B.S. comment 
line saying "not 1.13MHz." I see people doing the "not <insert whatever" 
switcheru on other things too.
