RE: <A possible explanation is that your source was just a little eager and a bug was found at the last minute that delayed the launch.> Elmer, How does your "possible explanation" make any sense whatsoever in light of the fact that Crazyoldman claims to have 3 Athlons with Week 9 '99 date codes. Are you saying AMD delayed the launch at the last minute only to ship the delayed parts a few months later? That makes no sense! In my opinion there are only three reasonable explanations. #1) The date codes are wrong. #2) Crazyoldman is misinterpreting the date codes. #3) Athlon's were indeed ready in the timeframe that Jim McMannis claimed but the infrastructure and partners were not ready for a launch. In light of the fact that motherboards were the bottleneck even in August I tend to think the explanation that makes the most sense is #3 but I am sure that you will probably disagree. Regards, Epinephrine
