I'm worried AMD is going to get outmarketed on this one. I heard through the grapevine that Ot is going to personally sign each special edition! Each computer will also come with a special commemorative cumine wafer/plaque and a keychain made of a defective i840 mbs.

-Scot,

Dang...I hate rumors. Its Barrett who is signing the special edition pc's, not Otellini, and they have M.Stewart picking out colors for the monitors. Stewart's company will directly sell them on the web.

You're right about the cumine wafer/plaque; however you have a choice with the key chain....either the defective i840 mbs or a 800 cumine chip....as you know the yields at all of Intel's fabs have been excellent, consequently these 800's are surplus and would have been dumped had Intel not come up with this innovative and creative venture with their new joint partner.

BTW these special editions put AMD's EasyPC to shame!!
