Tenchusatsu, <Just how long does it take to get things through the pipeline anyway? This may be a blatantly ignorant comment, but it seems to me that AMD is using horse wagons to deliver their products.> At current AMD volumes, it should take no more than a couple of weeks to clear a speed grade (assuming there is no other hitch such as motherboards). However, this wouldn't work if a major OEM is using that speed grade. I doubt if any top-tier OEM would build a system unless they get to ship somewhere in the 100Ku range. <Guess these are all your regular pains of execution when the volumes are so low.> You are on the button on that one. Plus the misery of starting a new platform. Chuck
