They do.  That's why I can overclock my PIII 866 to 933.  MB supports
either, Intel makes chips and stamps 866 on some and 933 on others.  They
have a number of price points to meet, and choose to simplify production and
meet them arbitrarily.  They even lock down some cpu's so they can't be
overclocked.  It's my chip, why can't I run it as fast as I want?

I can remember Decision Data line printers that were sold as 300 lpm, that
had a jumper the salesman told you about that when removed made them 600
lpm.  Just a two inch piece of wire.

Why is it that I can get my car reprogrammed for more HP and/or Torque.  Why
didn't the manufacturer enable all of it?  He had reasons, emissions, making
one engine to close to the next higher in performance etc.

I wish IBM priced green screen jobs the same as client server, but if the
market lets them get away with the practice they'd be foolish not to do it.
