KZ,

<I may be wrong but isn't it AMD's policy to not count revenue from the sale of a chip until the customer's product is sold? If this is true then there are only 21 days left to clear up the mobo problems or AMD's quarter will be worse than expected since no Athlon revenue will show.>

I do not believe the above statement is correct. The standard industry practice is to recognize revenue on OEM sales but wait for the sell through for distribution sales. Now, all the players play games with crossover dates and international sales and create a substantial amount of fudge. CFOs in this industry have way too much latitude, if you ask me.
