I have just one question about mobile AMD. Are they selling. I was slightly surprised this weekend to see a Compaq AMD 1Gig machine ad from Best Buy. I will go by this week and see if they are selling. ANY SALE is one more than AMD was getting. This is great news. Does anyone have a site that compares laptops? Where do we rank? Redbird

Niceguy, Once a few Palomino based Athlon 4's get passed around the public domain, one can expect a rising tide of interest in Athlon 4's at the consumer, We'll have to wait and see how long it takes before this can happen. In my book, this is a paper launch. 500 systems on HSN and Build-to-order systems from Compaq (no verifiable ship date at this time) does not a real launch make. I'll consider it a launch when systems are available at retail. The Sony mobile Duron launch is better than the BTO Compaq Athlon 4 launch. Now, having said that, I do expect other OEMs to announce systems "in the coming weeks." Pravin.
