RDM,
RE:" Large OEMs have
to sign up with AMD now to reserve a priority slot for product allocation
should the K7 work as well as anticipated. No major OEM wants to be
locked out of a market like the K7 could create."

This is true...how did you know this? You must have good sources. <G>
I understand Gateway wanted the K6-2-400 so they wouldn't be left out in the cold on the K6-3 and K7 but AMD didn't have enough chips. I also understand Dell is looking at the K6-3 for the same reason...
As I've suggested, the K-7 could turn the OEM boxmaker world upside down....I've seen it happen in other industries.

Jim
