CrazyMan - RE: "Does this mean the 760/760MP boards will not appear this year?" No.. When the KX133 chipset came out, almost all motherboard makers made boards for this chipset because it offered more features. (The smart OEMs stuck with the AMD 750 though.) And when the KT133 chipset came out, motherboards had to completely switch over to another chipset. Both these switch overs held back more Athlon sales. The 760/760MP won't require a complete changeover because the market won't switch to DDR all of a sudden. It will be gradual, so the KT133 chipset will be the big seller for this year. I actually forgot about the KM133 chipset for Duron. That hasn't ramped up yet. This is a VERY important chipset for AMD to get back into the low-end of the market, which Celeron has taken over again.
