Scot - RE: "While Intel plays tricks and neither I, nor anyone outside the press, can get Coppermine 733's yet, AMD made sure we were able to ship the gamers Athlon 750s when they were announced."

That was great to read. More confirmation 750s were ready to ship on RELEASE date.

It looks like AMD didn't have the volume for a retail launch so they gave the chips to BTO shops (like Compaq, Cybermax, Falcon NW) who don't require as much volume to launch. This is still better than in the past with the K6-x series.
