PIII Coppermine Discontinuance Date

[EmosOohay]

Anyone know when Intel plans to stop production of the PIII Coppermine with 100MHz FSB?

The part I'm interested in is BX80526U850256E, PENTIUM III 850MHZ SECC2 (Slot 1) 100MHZ FSB 256K CACHE.

I'm trying to determine when the price will be at its lowest, if it's not already too late.

TIA

You can still find them. Try Pricewatch.com, i guess. Are you looking for a particular stepping number?

They won't be discontinued until next year but I suggest buying them now. Intel in manufa cturing less then before, and demand is dropping rapdily and Intel is not going to drop the price on their older P3's because they want to force people into upgrading to the newer P4's instead.

Check out pcprogress.com. I bought some Katmai p3/600s for an old BX server box. They seem to have a decent stock of just about everything.

Good Luck

I'm looking for a matched pair, stepping wise, but not any paticular stepping, just the latest rev I guess.
