PB,

However, GTW also said they were having a hard time obtaining BX boards, and GTW is a "BX shop". They would need a good supply of BX boards to ship Coppermine systems, as well as the .25 systems. I have no idea what is going on w.r.t. the BX issue.

IMHO, I don't think BX chipset shortage is manufacturing related. I believe the BX chipset shortage was due to curtailment of its production. For this to make sense, you have to ponder on an assortment of different elements that are intertwined in a strange way - 820 chipsets, RAMBUS, Athlon motherboard ramp, higher BX chipset prices, BX vs 820 performance, etc.
