Elmer, So AMD is having yield problems, and Intel is cranking out lots of 1GHz+ parts? How's your oceanfront property? Scumbria

Re: You can buy a 1.133GHz CuMine system from IBM today... Well, you can pay for it today. IBM's "Buy Today, Ship Today" program is limited to 733 and 800MHZ. Anything else falls into the "Why wait a week or more to get your system..." category. I wonder how long "or more" is? pc.ibm.com I can buy a Thunderbird GHZ system from any one of a number of manufacturers at any one of a number of retailers today and take it home today. And I don't have to worry about keeping the system away from sunny windows. Did you notice that IBM's business systems top out at 866MHZ? It seems that IBM doesn't have a lot of confidence in a processor that won't run unless cooled below typical operating temperatures. To be fair, they don't seem to like any AMD systems right now, either. Which will change first? You can purchase 1 GHz CuMines on PriceWatch today... Not one of the 7 listings says "In-Stock", and the cheapest is $1099. 1 GHZ Thunderbirds start at a little under $500 and some of the listings say "In-Stock". Intel is simply not a serious player in the GHZ chip business. Dan
