~~~~~Everyone - READ THIS!!!~~~~~ "AMD K7: Coming To A Dell Computer Near You? Lots of rumors flying around about this piece of gossip, our favorite version being that Dell has actually instructed AMD to withhold the launch of their new K7 CPU line until Dell is ready to roll out their K7 PC packages and marketing promotions in August. The punchline though is that we hear AMD has actually AGREED to this, and that the true launch of the K7 (not the "paper launch" which occurs in two weeks, but the actual time AMD begins shipping K7 CPUs in bulk) will now be held until August 1st per Dell's request. It's amazing how far AMD has come of late, from being beaten around Wall St. like a red-headed step child, to competitor Intel's announcement last week that their "K7-killer" CPU (Coppermine) is delayed until November. Clearly AMD has a real opportunity here to shine, so it's not surprising that Austin based Dell Computer could possibly be rolling out an entire PC line built around the K7 CPU line. This would be the first time Dell hasn't used Intel CPUs to propel their highest end PC offerings. Whether this rumor holds out to be true or not will only be revealed by time, but you've got to think that the guy who brought AMD to the dance (Compaq) can't be too pleased to see AMD winking at another girl across the floor..." I cracked up laughing after I read that! That is waaaaaay out there. If, if, if... Imagine the possibilities... But then think of the chances... sharkyextreme.com
