fyo, re: "I'm just pointing out that the availability of engineering samples is no guarantee of the product reaching production." I think the nForce is well beyond engineering samples since real boards were shown at Computex by a wide range of manufacturers who anticipated release within the near future (2-4 mos? I forget the dates). This is a far more substantial presence that ever seen by the Micron chipsets. -PT

Fyo, Re: I'm just pointing out that the availability of engineering samples is no guarantee of the product reaching production. Since Xbox will be launched soon, nForce will follow. MSI promised to have samples in July and start volume shipments in September. So I guess we'll now soon if the schedule was too aggressive. But even if it slips by a month or two: Nvidia is extremely ambitious about entering the market, and I'm sure they'll work day and night to get it out in time. It's a completely different situation to Micron's AMD chipsets which never even were acknowledged officially nor had any partners (neither motherboard manufacturers or OEMs) to support them. Andreas
