Dan,

re:"On the "hands on" angle, this is somewhat in contrast to the cumine launch experience, where all the hardware sites had top speed grade engineering sample, clock-unlocked processors in hand, as opposed to poor Mikey Dell, who still doesn't seem to have many top speed grade processors in hand. All very entertaining, I say. I'm sure the hardware sites will be getting some of those "hundreds of thousands" of Willies that will be produced this year, and Mikey Dell probably won't care all that much at that point."

I think thats a tad unfair.

Intel only demoed first silicon.

Seems to me that willy is a pretty good chip.

Perhaps just not good enough to blow Athlon out of the water.

And thats the good news!!!

regards,

Kash
