Current plan is only Prescott from here on out. 3.4GHz is the highest
speed grade planned for Northwood. Mind you, 3.2GHz WAS the highest
speed grade planned for Northwood, and that changed, so the
possibility for a 3.6GHz chips does still exist.

OK, thx. Maybe I'll just go for a 3.4ghz then. If I can find a local
store that even has one.

With the final decision going to how the bins fill up (if they get
enough 3.6GHz Northwoods, they'll sell them).

Even though these Prescotts have been announced by Intel, most of the higher
speed Prescotts are very rare to find.

I meant a 3.4ghz Northwood. I can't find those locally either. 3.2ghz
is easy enough to get though.
