The dates on the document are January 14th/15th - this looks good. But I am somewhat puzzled why HP is starting with 550 when Gateway and Compaq are pretty much going with 600MHz for their entry level systems. Chuck, I would suspect that the other OEMs are eating up all the higher MHz chips right now....adding two large OEMs in 2 weeks is major for a company the size of AMD, don't you think? ted
