re: "have not seen any 650 systems"

There are plenty of them. Word is that IBM is taking most of them {the 650 parts) and Compaq is taking almost all of the rest.

This should be doing wonders for their ASPs.

With flash prices up and 300,000 to 400,000 Athlons shipped this quarter and possibly the best speed bin distribution that any have imagined, the numbers for this quarter might be good despite some very ugly rumors from Dresden.

Regards,

DARBES

Mani - re: ". Full Athlon System with MSI MB's"

I wouldn't touch that combination with somebody else's 10 foot pole.

With MSI originally shipping motherboards that wouldn't EVEN BOOT - what kind of quality control could they possibly have?

I'll bet their new QC test is to do a quick boot - and a 37 second burn-in !
