Cirrus - <If Geyserville processors have held up production of desktop processors I think Intel didn't make a right decision when allocating Q4 production. But I'm using hindsight. Who knows what Intel forecasted for Q4...>

Cirrus, the same parts are used for the PIII mobiles available now. I wouldn't use the term "held up".

<Hmm, Geyserville was DELAYED from '99 to 2000. If these processors require their own "stuff" and introduction was pushed back, there is a possibility initial production didn't turn out well and valuable wafers/processors had to be thrown away. Oops, there went the extra PIII 450/500s Intel could have sold to Gateway.>

Cirrus, it didn't work and doesn't work that way. The processors had nothing to do with the one quarter delay of Geyserville. And I cannot see how PIII mobiles impacted the GTW issue at all. They are an entirely separate class of parts, run in entirely different fabs at the moment.

<AMD is supposed to have their own version of Geyserville, but it isn't supposed to be as advanced. Changes are made in BIOS. But future mobile chips are supposed to be able to change within Windows, or so that one article says.>

I have heard this. Waiting for detail. On Geyserville, the wait is just about over.
