Paul:

"Maybe Dell knew that the Pentium 4 would be readily available and that the 1.2 GigaThumper would be - shall we say - delayed just a weeeeee bit."

I suspect Dell had something more in mind than a next generation microprocessor that doesn't meet the past generation's performance standards...

One thing is for sure, the P4 should have been delayed a weeeeee bit. The availability on pricewatch is probably a result of the OEMs cancelling orders, to avoid shipping systems that screw up memory copying instructions.

As you vehemently pointed out a few months ago, when the P3 1GHz was a noshow on pricewatch, availability there is related to supply and demand.

Sure, it would be nice for some to appear on pricewatch, but it seems AMD are selling all they make to the OEMs. And in case you are suggesting they are not shipping yet, RDM had no problem buying one.
