Paul, I'll bet that you want to fly to Germany to see the first MP Athlon system. Tyan will be showing its first dual-processor Socket A mainboard, Thunder K7 (S2462) at CeBIT. As we have already told you in our news, this AMD 760MP based mainboard will support PC266 DDR SDRAM and feature 64-bit/33MHz PCI slots, integrated Ultra160 SCSI and LAN, and integrated ATI graphics. xbitlabs.com Scumbria

Re: for your Pentium 4/Rambus information: Rambus-based Pentium 4 systems will be shipping for under $1000 by the end of 2001 Yes, they've sold one P4 and they're going to cut the price of the other one until it sells too! :-) Dan

Paul - Glad to see you're using the Register as a source of news information -- I thought for sure I had heard you describe them as a joke publication. (except I suppose, when you find news in there you like right?:) ) Heres something I found interesting in Milo's link to Zdnet earlier (http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2689560,00.html) Adding to Intel's troubles, sales of the Pentium 4, introduced in November, are falling well short of projections, sources said. While Intel has privately projected sales of 2 million units this quarter and 20 million for the year, sources said actual sales are running at half that rate. "You could tell, even before it came out, that there really wasn't going to be much demand for it," said Dan Niles, a market analyst with Lehman Brothers, in San Francisco. "The chip doesn’t perform all that much better on most software than a 1GHz Pentium III, except on streaming media applications."
