Hello Crazyman :) <Good to see you back posting again, I've been wondering where you've been! How have you been?> Thanks, I got kind of busy there and reverted to lurk mode :) But I took this whole week off to watch the Thunderbird release so I have a little time now. Hehe it's pretty sad when you take vacation just to watch the market, I confess, I AM in love with AMD. LOL. <What you say makes sense, it's possible that AMD is now shipping higher speeds to OEMs at this momment so those faster parts will actually be available for sale when announced. This procedure was once used by another competitor in the industry but was abandoned recently in favor of vapor releases which couldn't or haven't been honored.> Exactly, if AMD can leverage their excellent performance over the past year into a reputation of dependability it will go a long way towards business market penetration, and by being conservative and methodical they will get the chance to purge any slower binned parts from earlier in the qualification ramp at healthy, intact asp's while they put the infrastructure in place. Then once the trap is set, spring the faster parts. Win, Win :) Regards, Epinephrine
