PB,

<I hear the Dell component problem does not have anything to do with the processors. I don't know if it's RDRAM related or not.>

I do not think the problem is RDRAM per se. It could be a contributing factor but the delays seem to be directly related to speed bins. Here is the data I have.

Dell is quoting other RDRAM systems with 2 week lead times. Last I checked you can get anything below 700s from Dell pretty much immediately. 733s are about 2 weeks lag and anything above that speed grade is about 4 weeks.

P.S.: If one were to ignore the direct players, the problem seems worse. HP is still the only vendor that is shipping anything north of 700 at retail.
As I keep saying I do expect this problem to go away pretty soon but so far it hasn't. February/March should be a lot better.
