PB,

Rhetorical question (don't take it the wrong way): Why didn't AMD foresee that there would be this much demand for the 500's and accommodate the market by bringing more capacity online to handle the demand? Couldn't they have known that the 500's would be hot sellers, and just adjusted their production schedules accordingly? Maybe they could have cut back on some of their .18 production to meet this demand at the low end?

There was no exclusive agreement between AMD and Taiwan, and there weren't any AMD commitments made to Taiwan ;-)

Seriously, they are going to obsolete Athlon 500s. In a few more days, Athlon 550s are going to go for about the same price as the current 500s.
