Eric Re <<So what?>> So, AMD's 700 is much more available than Intel's counter part. That's what. Nothing gets by you, does it? Also tune in to AMD's earning to find out more. Mani

Eric - RE: "Why the fixation with pricewatch, anyways?" It gives us an idea how "good" a processor launch is. In the past, Pricewatch vendors started selling new Pentium - X a couple of days before the official release. This showed us that Intel had filled the channel before the launch. With the launch of the PIII 733 there were no Pricewath vendors offering it for sale for quite some time which lead us to believe there wasn't much product available in the first place. Now, the 733 is more widely available, but the 750s and 800s aren't, yet.

Re: "Why the fixation with pricewatch, anyways?" Because it's the only gauge they can use to make AMD look good. EP
