Eric, Sell all they can..yes. The step of accumulation while they wait until they are sure of a bin is what I call sandbagging. While they wait until they are sure they can either sell the fast ones as 650 or hold them for release. I suspect they will hold them for release?, complicating this is the fact that 650 Athlons run at 750 with no special precautions as has been reported. Doies this mean they will all run at 750 and the sandbag is a label change and they are really trying to get speeds far higher than 750? Interesting speculation that the run of the mill 650 AThlons are really 750 and all AMD needs to do is announce and print new labels. Will all the 650 go tp 750? I do not know if a bunch have been tested by Toms or whoever cares to establish this fact. Recall when all the Celrons were shown to be capable of 450 or more, even when sold at 333 or so? and the speed locking that ensued?... This fall will see a repertoire of interesting tactics on the part of AMD and Intel. Bill
