Goutama - <IMHO, I don't think BX chipset shortage is manufacturing related.>

I don't either.

<I believe the BX chipset shortage was due to curtailment of its production. For this to make sense, you have to ponder on an assortment of different elements that are intertwined in a strange way - 820 chipsets, RAMBUS, Athlon motherboard ramp, higher BX chipset prices, BX vs 820 performance, etc.>

I've been pondering. It's a strange brew to be sure.
