<...the story about a boat load of K6-2s that AMD is currently sitting on.>

It makes sense for AMD to build inventory of k6-2s while they are shaking out bugs in k7 and the chipset. When the final k7 is a go they can shift capacity aggressively to k7 and not worry about missing the k6-2 OEM commitments.

PB - Re: "Two Million K6-2s Burning A Hole In AMD's Wallet

One of the better tidbits that the intentional Sharky Extreme Cliff Diving team brought back from the now completed Computex show in Taiwan last week was the story about a boat load of K6-2s that AMD is currently sitting on. "

I thought AMD could sell everything they make?

PB et. al.:

I got an email about a week or so ago from a guy who said he could get K6-III/500s in his local store. They also have a web page here:
chipsmart.com

Anyway, I called them and they CLAIMED to have them in stock, ready to ship. I say 'claim' because I didn't actually order one, I only asked if they had them in stock... and if they were SURE they had them in stock.
