Joey - RE: " until sometime in Sept. The real issue for me is not with supply but with demand. Will OEMs, businesses, and average consumers pay more for an AMD processor than for an Intel processor, regardless of the benchmarks?" From pcworld.com - "The best news: You won't have to pay a premium for all that speed. Fully loaded Athlon-650 systems (sans monitor) should cost $2100 to $2400, which is about what you'll pay for a comparably equipped, though slower, Pentium III-600 PC." That is hard to believe, don't you think? You are right about Sept. - "By mid-September, expect to see Athlon PCs for the home- or small-business users from companies such as IBM, Compaq, Polywell, and TigerDirect."
