Saturn V, Jim, I think it is simpler than that. A repeat of September! DELL: "these 820s don't work" INTEL: "trust us, we'll make it work before the deadline" Result.....CamiNO-GO This time will be the same. INTEL is telling everybody: "Floppermines are on the way, we're meeting our schedule, too much demand, don't buy an Athlon, we'll cut you off, we'll pay you off, TRUST us-the 820 will work this time!" We'll find out later the REAL reason. sTAY tUNED! Mysef

Saturn - RE: "The 820 delay has left OEM without a chipset to sell Coppermines." That could explain the lack of PIII "BE", but not the PIII "E". C't is reporting that Fujitsu will have to wait until next year for not just the 733, but the 700 also. PIII "B" can run in BX and i810E chipsets, so there was no reason for those PIIIs not to be available at launch date, unless Intel was behind schedule in avilabililty.
