Petz - RE: "how could CuMine shortage be due to high demand? " I think it is because they have so many versions of CU-Never-Mind coming out at the SAME time. When the PIII came out, Intel only came out with 2 speeds. The PII came out at 3 speeds. With CU-Never-Mind, Intel has I think 9 CU-Never-Minds just for PCs. That means Intel has to ramp a new process AND get its normal volumes out, except 3 times more than a previous big launch. And they also have notebook chips and Xeons (which are just CU-Never-Mind in Slot B) to worry about. Seeing how CU-Never-Mind isn't available at Pricewatch, a place historically knows to have Intel processors available BEFORE the chip officially comes out (they even had the 600B available before hand, and that launch was pretty pitiful itself), I would come to the conclusion that Intel shouldn't have introduced 15 versions of CU-Never-Mind at the SAME time. I guess Intel couldn't pull an Intel this time. Maybe CU-Never-Mind will magically be available tomorrow at ALL speeds and this arguement will be futile, but by the way it currently looks, it ain't gonna happen. (CU-Never-Mind - TM Me ;) )
