Jozef re <<I think the thread have determined that Compaq uses TBird.>>

Last night I looked through their site, and all I saw was classics. In the store I only see the classics as well.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with the classic as the ASP is not any lower, but I am still concerned that AMD might soon completely run out of the classics and the infrastructure is not ready for the new TBirds and Durons.

Joe, Re: I think the thread have determined that Compaq uses TBird.

Yes, and their are also the HP "krypton green" PCs (with 1 GHz Thunderbirds). However, all these systems are using Slot A Thunderbirds AFAIK. I think Socket A will be available from major OEMs at the same timeframe when Duron is ready (i.e. fall shopping season). The KT133 shortage and the transition from Slot to Socket A isn't easy for the big, unflexible OEMs IMO.
