| "Here's a photo of the K6-III adapter (rev. 1).
Note that there are now two inductor coils (the wire- wrapped doughnuts)
instead of one. That's for the increased power load of the K6-III,
which is really getting up there at 12 amps. The power connector
is also of a higher guage, so as to reduce heat. This version is ready
to go but we're making a few more improvements, so we don't expect to be
selling this until early May."
Also the full scale release of the AMD K6-3 is not happing until mid to late April, which may be another facto slowing things down. |

| "The 2nd photo is the LPX board PCB. Note
the extension pieces to accommodate different rear panel arrangements.
This project has been pushed back a bit, due to workload considerations.
I'd say it will be out in April/June."
This LPX motherboard will have a "K6-III and fit into other LPX cases, such as those made by PB, Dell, IBM and Compaq." I have to say this is a product I am waiting to see, for those of us that need a BIOS update this just might be the better option for the long run. |

| "The 3rd photo is our Celeron upgrade (two of
them, actually), working in a dual Pentium-II motherboard. This will
be out in April as well, and upgrade P-II systems running at 233, 266,
300, and 333 MHz to 433, 466, and 500 MHz. It will also accept the
"Coppermine" P-III PGA chip that is coming out this Summer, and run at
a 100 MHz bus speed as an option (66 or 100 selectable by jumper).
Since Intel won't sell the Slot-1 Celeron in speeds above 400 MHz, this
product should have a market as soon as the higher speed PGA chips are
out (433 is out and 466/500 to come this year) and people start looking
for a cost-effective alternative to the P-II or P-III (or Zeon).
There are some BIOS issues we are studying now, and then we'll go to BETA
test."
The latest new I have on these is they will be avaliable for $29.95 (no CPU, of course) and may be avaliable as early as May. |

Well folks that is all I have for now, I will post more information as soon as I get it. I have no idea on pricing for any of these, we will have to wait for release date.
