To everyone exclaiming, "Where are all the high speed Coppermines!" BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! Intel will ramp them up, and they will flood the market with them. I sit with bated breath and thank each day that I don't see 800 Mhz Coppermines everywhere. Pravin.

Mani, <They can not meet demand not due to unexpected customer response to the announced product, but due to being forced (by AMD's Athlon) to announce a product they were not ready to make in sufficient volume.> You put it very well and I am pretty amazed that people choose to not see something that is this obvious.

Mani, <They can not meet demand not due to unexpected customer response to the announced product, but due to being forced (by AMD's Athlon) to announce a product they were not ready to make in sufficient volume.> I'll have to agree. Still, I wonder why people are still waiting for their Pentium III orders to be filled, when Athlons are relatively abundant. Heck, AMD even felt it was necessary to drop prices like crazy, possibly to move the supply. I guess Gateway's move is a result of all this, but even then, the imbalance is curious to say the least.
