Re: "The 760 is a solid chipset and been shipping for a couple of weeks now with no problems reported so far" Wrong Danny. SMP is broken. It doesn't work and nobody knows when it will. EP

Lewinsky-Dan - Re: "But I stopped by Best Buy tonight and the salesman said DDR systems would ship in 7 to 10 from the date ordered. Then he said the shipping time could depend on the precise configuration ordered. I asked him again if that applied to the DDR systems and he said yes, they were shipping in 7 to 10 days from the date ordered" No kidding ? Ship in 7 to 10 days from the date ordered? Well, Danny boy - why aren't the in stock already? According the AMDroid's most reliable source of information, the 760 DDR chip has been "delayed" theregister.co.uk AMD 760 DDR chipset delayed By: Andrew Thomas Posted: 01/11/2000 at 12:48 GMT Gigabyte has confirmed there are problems with AMD's new 760 DDR chipset, launched just two days ago and has delayed shipping its new GA-7DX mobo as a result. A Gigabyte representative in the UK told The Reg that it was an AMD issue and that Chimpzilla was currently investigating the problem. It would be 'at least two weeks' before the severity of the problem and hence the length of the delay were known, he added. He declined to comment on the precise details of the fault. The implication is that systems and boards are unlikely to be available until December at the earliest. The delay follows AMD's admission that SMP Athlons won't ship until the middle of next year. An AMD representative said they were unaware of any issues with the 760 and said systems were available in Europe from NEC. This came as news to NEC's telesales operation who advised us that while 760 systems were scheduled to be available now, they were not expected to ship until the very end of November at the earliest, with December being more likely. "Should be here in time for Christmas," observed the cheery NEC person. NEC's technical people in Livingston, Scotland, added that sample mobos had only arrived with them this week for testing. AMD specialist site AMD Zone reports that another mobo maker is delaying shipment of its 760 offering until the next rev of the 760 arrives.
