Elmer, By your line of reasoning, Intel had samples to send out and AMD didn't. While Intel is delivering samples, AMD is delivering 850 MHz products: gateway.com Intel can't do that right now. When do you think will Intel catch up? Joe

RE: <By your line of reasoning, Intel had samples to send out and AMD didn't.> Elmer, No, by my line of reasoning AMDs OEMs had samples AMD just wasn't desperate enough to encourage those OEMS to release them. To claim that AMD doesn't have 1GHz even after they announce (you will probably say leak) that they will be releasing 1GHz this month is crazy. If AMD claimed that and couldn't do it that would be like sticking a toothpick in their eye. Why would they do that...please don't say they are desperate, my tummy hurts already :) (I am already LMAO) Thanks, Epinephrine

Elmer, From the link posted by Robert Grutza: semibiznews.com The launch, to be backed by Dell Computer Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., and IBM Corp., will almost certainly come in the form of limited-production "special editions," according to the sources, who said they were briefed by Intel. PCs using the chips will feature specially designed motherboards with larger heat sinks to accommodate the faster processors. Yes I see your point now, this launch is indeed a bold move on Intel's part coming from a position of strength...no desperation in sight! :) ROFLMAO, my tummy hurts :) Thanks, Epinephrine
