[geeks] Yeow! That is a pricey CPU for a PeeCee!

[Ken Hansen]

Maybe power/heat differences? Also, remember how the P/133 was actually *faster* for most applications than a P/150 (clock rate/multiplier differences)? Maybe the I/733 is better for end-user applications, the I/800 better for compute-intensive applications?

Just a thought,

Ken

People who already bought a 733 system from HP, and want to install a second
chip?
