Hi sylvester80; Re: "I thought AMD had said that mobos would be available immediately."

Here's the PR straight from Yahoo:

AMD Introduces Evolutionary New Computing Platform, Increasing Memory Data Rate by Up to 100 Percent
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2000--
...
Initial systems expected to debut from micronpc.com in the U.S. and NEC Computers International in Europe for holiday buying season
...
Systems featuring the AMD Athlon processor and DDR memory technology are immediately available for order from micronpc.com in the U.S. and from NEC Computers International in Europe. Systems are expected to be available in November, and AMD expects widespread system availability worldwide in the first quarter of 2001.

The published "rumors" suggest that the PC2100 problem is with the 133MHz EV6 FSB. Supposedly, it gets fixed Monday, but hey, there's a lot of "November" left. And remember, you have to add a month for daylight savings time. (G)

Hey, when is the AMD, VIA, Nvidia, Transmeta, and Intel signings or lawsuits going to show up, you think? I don't see how they can be avoided...
