Dan, Re;"MB's" Well seems like you have a short memory. The AThlon was available in Q3 but they had MAJOR MB shortages. AMD MISMANAGED the LAUNCH of its most important chip. AMD has FAILED in developing a 2 way chipset - that was due in Q4 99. AMD has FAILED to develop a state of the ART chipset. They failed to exploit the PC133. VIA has shipped BOATLOADS of PC133 chipsets INTO the coppermine space - in fact MILLIONS of UMITS. THERE ARE NO MB's SUPPORTING PC133 and ATHLON to be FOUND TODAY. You have Keith Deifendorf(???) from the folks that gave Athlon the CPU of the year award say that AMD is CLUELESS about the chipset amd MB issues. And now we hear that AMD's entire ATHLON desktop market is going to depend on the folks at VIA to supply chipsets. HELLO do we have a COMPREHENSION problem here. AMD is making a horrible mistake and the stockholders will be the ones likely to pay for it. regards, Kash
