OK, lets see now. Let's see how we can make YOU a rich person overnight. You locate a supply of 816 chips that can deliver the faster speed you want in the GS, a reliable and ample supply of these chips, and I will put you in touch with someone at Apple that may just be willing to put lots of $$$$$ in your pocket for info on the supply. If AE is having problems getting a supply of 7 mhz chips, where oh where do you expect Apple to get a much larger supply of even faster (you mention 8 mhz) chips?? How pray tell to you expect a faster GS cpu from Apple, when there does not seem to be an available supply of chips??? Perhaps before you point a finger at Apple, you should check out the overall picture and be sure it is really their fault. You folks screamed for a new GS, Apple delivered on it's promise of an updated machine within the limits of what they had to work with. And if you really, really want an upgrade, I'm almost sure your friendly Apple service center will be glad to order you a new motherboard on a non exchange basis that you can snap into your existing case. If yoou want the upgrade badly, then you should not object to the price of doing it. I meaan, you didn't expect it for free did you???? bsherman@ibiza.cs.miami.edu or bsherman@mthvax.cs.miami.edu bsherman@pro-exchange MCI Mail: BSHERMAN
