DARBES,

<re: "AMD hasn't even been able to ramp Compaq and IBM "
Watch for the Compaq Presario 5800 series line approx. Sept. 1>

I am aware of the Compaq and IBM machines.

I am talking about delays here. From all indications, AMD had shipped tens of Ku of Athlon in June. If they had a clean launch, systems should have been shipping since mid-or-late July.

Assuming that AMD couldn't have ramped much faster even if everything went favorable the loss is not huge but significant nontheless.
