Those include the KA7, the AK72, the M7MKE and the Trinity K7 mobos. The pages are also showing an Athlon overclocking tool called Jumpstart. You can find the KX133 page here. Perhaps more significantly, the site is also showing the debut of motherboards based on Micron's DDR Samurai 64M2 chipset. You can find that page here. According to our translation software, the MTSAM 64GZ mobo costs ¾75,000, in limited quantities. The mobo supports dual Slot One chips, eight DIMMs, and has Lan and SCSI 2 interfaces.....

Pravin: Re: "So, I'm thinking we'll see a 3 for 1 split by the Q2 CC which should put the shares back into the $40-$50 price range." Comment: There was some discussion on this thread a few weeks back about the number of authorized shares currently available to AMD and it sounded like there weren't enough for a 3:1 split, but I'd leave that issue for the legal people to put to rest...A 3:1 split by Q2 CC presumes an AMD price of $150, a price I'm certainly no longer uncomfortable with, given current Athy and flash memory strength combined with the bandwagon effect witnessed this past week once AMD closed above $60! So assuming authorized shares are not a constraint, a split come Q2 CC falls well within the realm of the possible, imho. (We are verging on times of geometric revenue growth, geometric earnings growth and geometric AMD pricing growth, imho...as geometric pricing normally precedes geometric revenue and earnings growth, I have a feeling you'll need to fasten your seatbelt over the next week or two as AMD seems to have entered its revaluation phase!)
