IBM not selling 1.1GHz Athlon boxes in US (The Register) theregister.co.uk "Big Blue said it plans to announce the spec and price of models using the monster chip towards the end of the week. However, it appears there is not enough interest in the US market to warrant a launch here. "IBM bases its decision upon customer demand and customer feedback," said one IBM representative. However, she added that this did not preclude a launch in the future if user interest grew. The company will be launching "several models" of desktop based on the 1.1GHz Athlon in every geographical area except the US." This is not good news. I wonder what the problem is? Weak demand or is IBM concerned with the Athlon 1.1G performance? I am tempted to email IBM...not that I expect a straight to get a straight answer. ted
