Mani - <For goodness sake PB, WHERE ARE ALL THE COPPERMINES? Yields are great, Production ahead of schedule, inventory at zero... No coppermine anywhere. Can you explain what the deal is?> I believe we are in uncharted territory. As Saturn posted, this is probably an atypical launch for Intel, but not a stealth launch. The unforecasted demand has evidently spread the existing product very thin amongst all the OEM's. Whe you take into account Intel's customerbase, and divide that by the volume Otellini specified at the CC, and couple this with unexpected upside demand, does a picture begin to form as to what the distribution looks like? Add into the mix that i820 is supposed to come out this quarter, (at least in the case of 667 / 733) and I believe this adds another layer of complexity to the situation. OK. Now I'm done. No more responses by me will be made on this topic for a while. It would be extraneous to do so. PB

Mani, <For goodness sake PB, WHERE ARE ALL THE COPPERMINES?> Glad you asked. Courtesy of the stalwart RMBS thread, I found this link: gateway.com I just called the 1-800 number at Gateway, and I confirmed that this system is available, and that the system would arrive in about a week and a half, had I ordered it right now. (The salesman seemed very enthusiastic about the prospect of selling this system to me. He himself is astounded by the specs of this bad boy.) Unfortunately, I still can't explain why Pricewatch doesn't list any Coppermines available. It's too bad, since a friend of mine who runs 3D Studio MAX wants to upgrade his 440BX system from a Celeron to a Coppermine. So I guess we can call this processor the "CU-in-a-week-and-a-half-from-Gateway-mine." Tenchusatsu
