They have <b><A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com/1/3/4392-5.htm" target="_new"><font color=blue>1.8 P4 512K L2</A></b></font color=blue> too. There are 2 vendors that offer it, <b><A HREF="http://mate.pricewatch.com/scripts/b.asp?3053478" target="_new">Spartan</A></b> and <b><A HREF="http://www.microx-press.com/templates/micro/product.asp?sid=3CFEC5E1A34645AC8073789EF78181C2&prodid=CPUIN753A" target="_new">MicroExpress</A></b>.

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

Because the 1.6 and 1.8 512k cpus are northwoods, and they are rarer than the dodo.

I still think we need better vendors. I wouldn't spend my money at any place with a poor rating.

I am not sure if that are really northwood CPU.

At microexpresse in the cpu spec they have write 1.7 volt.

Northwood only comes in 200MHz increments (thank god).

Back in the days of the 80486, frequencies jumped from 25MHz to 33MHz in one brave step. There were no 19MHz to 20MHz or PR19@16000kHz to PR20@16667kHz increments, and noone considered an overclock of a 80386-16@17.3MHz something to write home about. Of course, back in the days Intel couldn't release a new speed grade every two months...

What do I want to say with this?
Nothing, really.
