Another Intel slip, Paul?

From Anandtech.com's KX-133/Athlon 850 review:

"Intel is supposed to release their i815 chipset, with PC133 SDRAM support soon, but our sources have told us that the chipset may be released as late as June of this year, eliminating it as an option for those users that are buying systems within the next month."

Of course, the 815 originally was not going to support USB 2.0 (who cares anyway?), but the addition of USB 2.0 support to the 815 chipset gives iNTEL a good excuse for a delay.

Well, KX133 was almost 2 months late, so I guess I shouldn't throw stones.

Paul -

If I was smart enough (or daring enough) to have bought AMD in the teens as you did, I would have dumped it by the time it reached the low 30s. Obviously not the best strategy, given its current price.

Good luck! I hope you make a bundle!
