Mani - RE: "It would make sense that Intel required a no Athlon policy till year end for more favorable pricing, and GTW has every intention to abide by that policy. Or perhaps they wanted to ship Athlon earlier based on the initial contract from Intel being void since they could not deliver the promised Coppermine."

Maybe they realized it wouldn't be a good idea to announce a new system right before Christmas because they may not have been able to guarantee delivery of all systems by Christmas.

Who would create hype if they can't deliver. Oh..yeah, Intel...

If true, Intel has violated anti-trust law.
