	I wonder if they ever admitted it  - I called Intel ,well
	just regular technician there - he was really suprised to
	hear about this problem...

	The same time I saw something in hackers@ .. probably David
	Greenman's posting - so it was said there that Intel 
	already makes fixed ORIONs - they should arrive to the
	manufacters soon.

	I think that first Intel will put it on their own motherboards.

	Looks like everything P6 related - CPUs,PCI chipsets and stuff 
	is in shortage :(
