Ref-<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> You forget that the OEM had already stockpiled and/or ordered 820 and the motherboards for it. By the time the 820 problem was discovered,it was too late for the OEM's to change. So the missing Coppermines are rapidly filling up the empty 820 boards. Intel caused serious grief and aggravation to all the people who bought the 820 chips.So to mend fences, these 820 OEM's had top priority for Coppermine shipments. Thus the Distributors got nothing.
