Always when there is a shortage, I suspect the large accounts to run away with what's available, but now it seems that even DELL, Gateway, etc. do not have enough. Is Intel expecting a war and building a strategic reserve or do they just have yield problems like AMD had in the past? It sure is a good thing for AMD but it isn't a good thing for global PC business, because some people are not buying right now, and I don't like that. Greetings, Bert

Jim - <OTOH, why does Intel need this big stepping change for the Floppermine on April 7th?> You say this like it's something unusual. In this case, it fixes errata and enables more performance (MHz). It's not "big". It's a natural progression. PB
