Dan3, Re: Trouble with the Core 2 Launch?>
Reminds me very much of the K6 launch. Demos available before launch in 166, 190? and 233.
I ordered, at lauch, the beginning of April, IIRC, a 233 from Partner Cybermax.
AMD was a thrilling ride 'till the middle of May, especially on the day Prudential recommended AMD with a one year target of ?$90? ?$100?.
But the stock started dropping, the K6-233 hadn't shown upin volume, and in July Cybermax offered me a 200 "NOW" with a free upgrade to 233 when it became available. I sold the stock, passed on the upgrade, IIRC, and didn't get my computer, very nice, for another 6 months.
An ad nauseam post from me for the folks who have been here for a while.
