fyo, Re: <This "P4 supply problem" does seem a bit odd.> It certainly does. I walked into one of my local computer chainsCompUSA) and saw a WALL FULL of Intel desktop boxes priced to go(There had to be 15 different models). One AMD box. It looked sort of like the breakdown here(Less the IBMs and Toshibas). compusa.com 62 machines of which 47 were new and 15 were intel Referbs. The 47 New machines were: 10 Apples 5 CPQ 3 P-III, 2 Celeron, 2 P4 8 HP 2 Celeron, 6 P4, 1 Athlon 15 IBM 14 P-III, 1 Celeron 3 Toshiba K-6II Appliance servers 1 CompUSA Celeron 2 emachines 1 Celeron, 1 P-III 3 Sony 1 Celeron, 1 P-III, 3 P-4 It opened my eyes! Drove home what Jim M. has been saying about no AMD presence in United States big retail outlets(Though the local WalMart is selling 1.4G Athlons). I'm going to try to stop by my local35 miles) Sams Club and another CompUSA tomorrow to see what's going on there. tgptndr
