Dave, I have no worries about 1.1, remarkably. Why?

1 Gateway has already told customers they can get those systems end of August.

2 Review sites have had the 1.1 chips for weeks now.

3 You just drop them into the same infrastructure you use for slower Tbirds. No new product line, no different motherboard needed.

Regarding Durons, I agree that no BIG OEMs are offering them in the U.S. yet, but to be fair, we did have announcements from:

Fujitsu-Siemens in Germany
IBM in Canada
Systemax duron systems showing up on some reseller site a few weeks ago...

That ain't Dell, but it ain't nothing, either. Did you have any thoughts on the Register story about the Durons from a day or so ago?
