SCUMbria - Re: "So why did ZDNet wait 4 months to review it? I'll bet you can figure it out."

ZDNET was waiting for an 800 MHz AThWIpey to run against the HP, Dell & Compaq Pentium III units.

When they finally got one, the performance of the AthWipey was very poor.

As a courtesy, ZDNet let the AMD PR folks read the review - and AMD asked that the AthWipey be REMOVED from the article.

That back-and-forth and re-write accounted for the delay.
