<I hear the Dell component problem does not have anything to do with the processors. I don't know if it's RDRAM related or not.> And where did you hear that? At Chang?s Mongolian Grill? Recall I ordered a Dell 800MHz on Dec 21. Yesterday I called inquire about the shipment day. The lady on the phone told me that the shipment day is unchanged from original Feb 7th and that the holdout part..................drum roll..........................Peee3-800MHz. Kap

PB, <I hear the Dell component problem does not have anything to do with the processors. I don't know if it's RDRAM related or not.> I do not think the problem is RDRAM per se. It could be a contributing factor but the delays seem to be directly related to speed bins. Here is the data I have. Dell is quoting other RDRAM systems with 2 week lead times. Last I checked you can get anything below 700s from Dell pretty much immediately. 733s are about 2 weeks lag and anything above that speed grade is about 4 weeks. Chuck P.S.: If one were to ignore the direct players, the problem seems worse. HP is still the only vendor that is shipping anything north of 700 at retail. As I keep saying I do expect this problem to go away pretty soon but so far it hasn't. February/March should be a lot better.
