<<Athlon 750's ready, but release will be marketing driven.>>

Starting this year, there was a related Cnet/news.com article PRIOR (normaly one or two days in advance) to every new speed AMD ever released.

No such article today from news.com, so, Athlon 750 release on next Monday or next few weeks can almost be written off. Regretablly!

This market driven thing is pure smoke.

They simplly cannot keep on the MHZ race, at least, for the time-being.

No to release / unable to release 750 sucks, big time!

Translation - "We ain't shipping the damn 700 MHz AthWIPE - our customers will REALLY get TORQUED-OFF we announce an even higher Phantom Speed Grade "

I'd say a coppermine at 733 and the fact that MHZ sells-TM McMannis is about all the marketing forces they need to get the 750 Athlon out there...
