Interestingly enough, the next release of Pentiums III, 800MHZ,
will put them into a supercomputer category and so will trigger
corresponding export restrictions. - See story at

What will the government do now?
The answer should be simple: whatever it was planning to
do when this happens. The export restrictions aren't new, neither
is Moore's "Law", so this event was predictable, _long_ time ago.
But no, the law is static, and now there are again expensive
lobbying efforts for raising the definition of the supercomputer
(once?), etc.
