<Last I heard, only Compaq and IBM announced Athlon support - so where is Gateway, HP, Toshiba, Dell, NEC and the rest ?>

After the first 2 fake launches, this weekend might be the REAL launch (like what Intel launches used to be).

Is third time going to be a charm?

I sure have gambled some bucks on the next several days being very eventful and from the call volume it looks like a few other folks are. Let's see.

While ramping up, IBM and CPQ will do just fine; once the Athlon clocks in at 1 G, the rest will come.

BTW another one of those crazy kind of days with AMD up and intc down....do you think it has to do with the Athlon, THE FASTEST CHIP IN ALL THE LAND, and how Athlon products just FLY off the shelves.

Or maybe its because of those crazy rumors that the Athlon will hit 800 MHz by October 25.

Now what were you saying about intc's new highs? As far as I can tell, intc's FALLING LIKE A ROCK!!!

Mulling over their un-shippable computer systems!
