Charles - RE: "Ain't that true! Apparently, magazines have received the 820 based systems for benchmarking and imagine the consternation of the people writing these reviews when they realized that these are not shippable products. It will get a little uglier when people start seeing Camino based systems advertisements that will invariably show up in some magazines because it was too late to cancel the placements." Amazing how Tsunami's ripples continue. Reviewers spent time, and their employers spent money to pay these reviewers to get this review done. And what do these magazine have to show for it? They will have to waste magazine space (read: $$$) in a future edition telling about how that review should be ignored because it was done on a unstable platform. They have better things to do with their time and money, such as review systems people will soon actually be able to purchase. "It will get a little uglier when people start seeing Camino based systems advertisements that will invariably show up in some magazines because it was too late to cancel the placements." So who is gonna refund these guys the $$$ they spent advertising f**ked up computer systems? Intel probably won't answer the phone calls and the magazine isn't liable for it. So these companies, who spend LOTS of money to advertise are screwed. And I'm not talking about Dell, COmpaq, and Micron, nor Tiger Direct or Cybermax, but the little little guys to whom the advertising money actually effects their bottom line. GREAT JOB Intel!
