Yes they do but surely you are not saying that the footnotes/asterisks will never be removed. Remember what had to come together to launch the Athlon, Motherboard, chip, chipset, drivers...
The rule with AMD is you'll see the systems about 2 months after announcement. It's been about two months. They are right on time.
Intel seems to have adopted this lag as well but they admit delay. <G>

So...Go ahead! Short AMD. From what you say, sounds like a sure thing to me. I am just not finding what you are finding. I think I will stay long anyway.
