<What is the official reason for the up move in AMD today, anyway?> Looks like it has to do with Intel and Motorola saying the supply situatuation is tight. But, who knows... Also, check this out... ebnews.com Those RDRAM based PC prices are pretty steep! Kind of reconfirms RDRAM is next year story. If AMD marketing is smart they should exploit the CuMine733/RDRAM situation by sending 700/750 MHz systems with 512MB DRAM for magazine reviews and benchmarks. If the early RDRAM benchmarks are right, Intel can't jackup the memory to 512MB because that would drop the performance and even if they dare to leave all the banks on and load it to 512MB, the system prices will be obscene. That could also have the effect of squeezing Dell and others to adopt Athlon faster.
