Scumbria,

Well there are several reasons the ship date is that far out. First of all the K7 isn't like the K6, etc. It doesn't just drop into an established motherboard, with established chipsets. You need to give at least 3 months lead time for chipsets to be built and maybe another 2 weeks for motherboards.. add some overhead, some testing, and you have 5 months..

5 months = 1h99 (late Q1, early q2, hence 1h)

Steve
