Cirruslvr, <"A Dell Computer salesperson today quoted more than a month build time for an 800-MHz Pentium III consumer system. While Compaq lists 800-MHz Presario consumer models on its Web site, a salesperson today said the company is not taking orders because processors are not yet available. But Compaq is selling 800-MHz Athlon models, which can be built and delivered within 17 days, a salesperson said." Proof Intel announced vapor. Dell, Intel's best customer, says it will take a MONTH to make a PIII 800 system while Compaq CAN'T TAKE ORDERS. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Athlon 800MHz systems are available to order from Compaq with delivery probably before the month ends.> Compaq says "processor are not yet available". Isn't it funny how Dell (Intel's best and most-preferred customer) said 20-30 days in Dec 20 press release but when Kap called in got a 2/7 date and now Nes.com reports "more than a month" today - i.e., 1/6/00? And, didn't I get a lot of flack for saying 800MHz volumes will showup in February/March? Watch my words: Intel is one full speed grade behind AMD now and will be 2-3 speed grades behind by the time Intel gets 800 into volumes. Chuck
