RE:"Just to do some retail DD, I braved the mall and went to Best Buy today. The place was actually not that crowded, but was stacked floor to ceiling with merchandise. They seem to plan on selling a lot of DVD players this holiday, because they were everywhere."... Best Buy has a MAJOR sale coming up over Thanksgiving. You're gonna be amazed how many AMD systems they move...while the Floppermine is in short supply.

Scot - RE: "The HP with the cumine 733 was actually in stock and on the shelf. Consistent with the newspaper ad, it contained SDRAM. I counted 11 boxes on the shelf above plus the display unit. I was not able to find anyone to help me, so I didn't ask about sales. The only other Cumine I noticed was a 667mhz box (I think it was a HP)." I wonder why HP got the chips before Compaq. Compaq is either Intel's first or second best customer.
