Re: "Could this be AMD Marketing???" It sure looks like it to me. They bill your charge card as soon as they receive your order then they ship the K7s if and when they ever arrive. EP

Elmer, I sent this inquiry to CustomerService@shophereusa.com Let us see what they say. Bill "I see that you say you bill my credit card when the order is processed? I find this ambiguous, since processing an order means shipping the product, not just taking the order over the net/phone. The reason I ask is that Silicon Investor had this comment: "Re: "Could this be AMD Marketing???" It sure looks like it to me. They bill your charge card as soon as they receive your order then they ship the K7s if and when they ever arrive. EP EP has the impression that you bill the credit card when you take the order and not when you process it. Processing an order is the procedure whereby goods and money change hands and you receive payment via the credit card and the goods are placed in the hands of a common carrier for delivery to me. It is not acceptable to charge a credit card and not ship the goods until they arrive at a later date since that is not a mutual handoff. I can understand submitting checks for payment and holding the goods for the federally mandated clearing period to pass prior to shipping to safeguard your company from NSF checks. Please clarify this promptly as it is quite damaging to a companies reputation for the impression that you charge cards some time prior to shipping goods. I will post your reply, as I have posted this inquiry to SI. Bill Jackson"

Cirruslvr, Re: AMD MArketing. Lovely. I hope they put some of this on their web-site etc. Coupled with an Apple type Ad blitz. Could get interesting. Regards, Kash

Cirruslvr, I see hints of a PR rating in that ad (i.e. Faster than a PIII/800.) Why would AMD want to compete on straight MHz, when they have a clock for clock advantage? Scumbria
