I heard a very faint rumor that the p5 would not be released and they would go on to the p6 instead. It makes sense. They are still making a good profit on the 486 series, the high end CPU's haven't been cloned yet, they've won a court case that makes cloning harder. Why should they release the p5? They're making money hand over foot and the competetion can't keep up. -- ====================== Bill Volz Chevron Oil Field Research Co. Exploration Research/Geophysics Division. P.O.
