RE:"The truth is, Intel pulled in the launch of the Coppermine into October and the available Coppermines are all committed to OEMs."... Let's see...you are saying that Intel stopped the FLOPPERMINE release...then stopped making FLOPPERMINES and the ones that are already made are commited to OEMS? So some FABS are just sitting there idle and the employees all went on vacation while Intel tries to get some motherboards made with two RIMM slots and tries to get enough "NEW" RAMBUS stockpiled to make a real release? Can a FAB just shut down like that. <GG> Jim

Paul re <<The truth is, Intel pulled in the launch of the Coppermine into October and the available Coppermines are all committed to OEMs.>> Yes that is the truth. No volume in the channels. They moved the launch forward to satisfy a promise. Re << the sudden availability of Athlons all over Pricewatch.com - including 700 MHz - should make you stop and think - why is there such a SURPLUS of the Athlons that they are all over the discount distributors.>> If there is not enough of them, you say AMD can't make them. If there is a lot of them you say OEM's don't want it. Paul, you really are reaching to make an argument. AMD is continuing to ramp the Athlon at better and better bin splits like they said they would. That is being shown in all distribution channels. There is nothing "Hmmmmmmmmmm....????" about that.

Paul - RE: "On the flip side, the sudden availability of Athlons all over Pricewatch.com - including 700 MHz - should make you stop and think - why is there such a SURPLUS of the Athlons that they are all over the discount distributors." Sudden??? The number of Athlon 700 vendors at Pricewatch gradually increased. There was nothing sudden about it. Same thing with the Athlon 650.
