Cirrus,

I went by my local screwdriver shop.
They had some slot one to socket convertors come in.
I asked why would you want those, and he said, didn't you hear? there isn't going to be any more slot ones.

How many slot one motherboards will be trashed with no CPUs?
No wonder everyone NOW is ramping Athlon mobos.

Inhel strikes again!

Make it so,
Mysef

Has anyone seen HP Cumine 800 systems lately?

On my last visit to CompUSA in NYC I saw what other people are reporting from other parts of the country: There was a space with label HP (whatever) 800, but there was no computer there.

But all of the other HP computers were Intel based. This was last week. I will probably be at CompUsa again today or tomorrow. I will report on whether the new Athlon based HP machines showed up.

I have not seen one in San Diego in over a month.

Gateway had them first, they wanted the Athlon so Intel took them away and gave them to HP. HP wanted the Athlon too so Intel took it away and gave it to Dell. There is not many to go around after all.

By the time 800 from Intel arrives in volumes it will be just a midrange CPU. That darn demand is just too high!
