Both of you are wrong. Look at M.Beier's links and you'll see P4 Williamette debuted with only two speeds; 1.4 & 1.5 GHz. I know because I had a P4 1.4 GHz Williamette with RDRAM PC-800 that was purchased when those were the only choices available (SDRAM equipped P4 systems hadn't arrived yet). Yes, I learned my lesson from that mistake.
