Y. Samuel Arai, and Chuck, ts possible; could also be that MB manufacturers are doing a better job cranking them out than AMD anticipated. After all, AMD promised to buy all unsold MBs, so they may have decided to crank them out 24 hrs/day, 7 days/wk., more than meeting demand (and more and 1.2mu's). Good point. It could also mean that AMD is targeting DIY market and SDS segment, or helping out mobo manufacturers to clear out existing inventory to set stage for newer motherboards with KX133. I remember reading in an article (I posted that one on this board) that AMD provided guarantees to Taiwan motherboard manufacturers that it will buy any excess supply of motherboards. Regards, Goutama
