Just check the PIII, at around 750-800mhz they started using a different die size. This reduced power/heat and increased electical reliability. True, there may be logic/design problems when the circuitry gets changed around but mechanically newer chips are generally better.

You know, if I could sell my 16K & 64K memory boards for the $400 or so I paid for them - I'd be a happy camper!!!
