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?).
