Yougang,

It looks like IBM may be the cause of the delay..

As for:

"Megahertz doesn't really matter all that much anymore," said Carl Everett, a senior vice president at Dell Computer in charge of
the personal systems group. He said that the faster the speeds get, the less discernable the improvement, because the percentage
improvement diminishes as the number gets bigger.

Sounds like Dell griping that they won't be getting any K7's for a while and starting the new INtel marketting strategy "Who cares about performance.. just buy for the name".
