Petz, This memory problem with the naystation is a gift from heaven for MSFT as I am sure it will steal a huge amount of the momentum from Sony and possibly delay their US release? but with 6 months to go before US shipping thay may solve it by then? I am sure the new MSFT machine will be a word processor as well as a surfer and may have other software capabilities inside, such as spread sheet etc to take command of the low end box market. I can see quite a war at the low end. VIA may not be quite the king they feel they will be as the combination of theAthlon + graphics and no other connections or busses apart from video out and USB/Firewire ports will make the Hardware very very low in cost. AH....dinner is served. CUL Bill

Petz - RE: "Nice to see unambiguous confirmation of AMD as the CPU supplier." Yeah, almost ALL the recent articles about X-Box have mentioned AMD. Since X-Box isn't expected to come out until next year, what would be REALLY neat is if Microsoft used a low-end X86-64 AMD processor. THAT would get things rocking. Of course, Microsoft probably wouldn't commit to what may still be vaporware as far as we know since AMD has been so quiet about it. Oh well, Microsoft using an AMD processor would still be great!
