< pressure cracks are starting to show> You make a good point. Intel has been predicatable and a reliable supplier. This Athlon "speed thing" must have sent Intel into a internal tailspin causing: 1. Earlier than usual release (for Intel)of product in the development cycle (before it is ready in volume). 2. Now a PR flub by Intel that never releases anything that has not been carefully scripted. What will we see next?

Chuck, FWIW, update on the Gateway rumor - From the AMDZONE amdzone.com ____________________________________ More On Gateway Athlon Systems-Chris 'ruiner' Tom 2:40 a.m. CST From what I've heard at Comdex, it looks like the reports of Gateway announcing an Athlon based system on the 23rd of this month appear to be true. I also have heard that Intel had bought off Gateway from making Athlon systems on the conditions that the i820/CuMine platform was ready to go by November 1st. Apparently Gateway is keeping the money and selling Athlon systems. Now that one made me chuckle. I couldn't get any info at the Gateway booth. Surprise, surprise. http://www.amdzone.com/ ____________________________________ Regards, Goutama
