Charles - <If my sources can beat a Process Boy who has hands on knowledge on the subject, they deserve some credit ;-)>

Charles, you said a while back that a new stepping would be needed to ship =>800. You were clearly wrong. Despite the low volumes available now, the things are shipping with a reasonable bin split on the same stepping as the 733's.

I know you AMD'ers love to chime about the availablity thing. I went cruising through Pricewatch and the web, and 733's are all over the place. 750's and 800's will show up. No, this isn't typical vs. historical in terms of channel volumes, but I am confident that I now understand in a cursory manner the way the product is flowing, and the reasons the volume is initially low at this point in the ramp for the 800's. Continue to dismiss the indicators at your own peril.
