I think Tom is full of it once again. In those e-mail updates, there have been NO MENTION of Intel anywhere, yet Tom is again drawing false assumptions.

So there's a motherboard shortage. Nothing unusual; Intel has its own shortage of BX and ZX chipsets. In fact, during all those wonderful presentations of Athlon, even Dirk Meyer wasn't so sure about motherboard supply once Athlon hit the market. What did people expect? That motherboard makers will be more than willing to jump onto the Athlon bandwagon, even though AMD has a history of execution problems? (Case in point: AMD used smoke-and-mirrors to hide a two month delay from June to August.)

I think people ought to give up on these dumb conspiracy theories.
