On the bottom of the page, picture #3: pcnews.com.hk does this 500 MHz Itanium have a fan or not? Maybe we should ask Paul. Joe PS: link found on jc-news.com PPS: 202 days until the end of the year, and 300 MHz to go for Itanium.

Dear John: I believe Gateway is already selling the systems. Even the shopping channels are selling them. And the DIY market is already getting the supposedly OEM only Slot A Tbirds. I believe that everyone is simply waiting for the motherboards to get more plentiful to begin annoucing their systems. The higher speed parts are probably waiting for the DDR chipset based motherboards to show up. Or perhaps as a kicker during the Q2 CC. Their is still some question about the KT133 still having some bugs at the outer ranges of use (see the rumor of a 3 DIMM problem and the rumor of that >1 Ghz systems are somewhat unstable). Most probably would like to get the 760 DDR chipset motherboards that are sampling now. The Ali DDR chipset may be shipping in August or September on a Iwill motherboard. However, AMD reportedly did show at Computex a 1.4Ghz (cooling unknown) Tbird on a 760 based motherboard. So it could be that AMD marketing is waiting to "Surprise" Intel. Via did claim that the reason the KX133 (and the KT133) does not do 133Mhz FSB is that they did something to prevent it from working in the chipset (yeah, if you believe that, I have some beachfront property to sell you) but, I think they could not get it to work.
