Kash, you might want to look at these very quotable quotes in the CNET article: One reason for the delay could be that manufacturers want to wait for the debut in October of Intel's new Coppermine CPU, he added. That would be my guess. The Coppermine delay sure didn't help any. By the way, remember those infamous performance numbers that Bert McComas gleaned off the Dell slides at IDF? Here's two more quotable quotes from the article referring to that stunt: Dell disagreed with the interpretation, saying that the numbers had been taken out of context. "He misrepresented some numbers," said Dell spokesman Jon Weisblatt. Glaskowsky [analyst with Microdesign Resouces] said he didn't trust McComas' numbers because there are too many ways the two machines could have differed. "You cannot make these straight-line comparisons that easily," he said. Seems like I'm not the only one doubting Bert McComas' conclusions. I don't think McComas was trying to be deceitful, but I do believe that he has an anti-Rambus agenda in mind. Tenchusatsu
