More to it than that; if we could've sold them at 25mhz on day
one, we would have. There are several chips that needed to be
faster before the 25mhz version could ship. There are also other
modifications in the new model.

(disclaimer: i am not part of entry products division, i work
on slightly larger boxes like the '300 series, so asking me for
details on the ss1+ will result in a simple "chat with your
local salescritter" so don't bother :-)
