Why? Chipsets are being demo'd, and there is no reason to believe that they aren't sampling. SuSE has reported that they will be shipping their version of Linux for x86-64 in November, if you feel a 64 bit OS is needed. So what other infrastructure needs to be in place? I mean motherboards and OS's should be available... Or do you think there is some reason why OEMs will take 6 or more months after shipments start to actually produce systems? It's just that when so many things are new at the same time, delays get compounded. Do the third parties (chipset folks) have Clawhammer chips in their hands for design and design verification purposes? Same question for the mobo people and Linux people. If they have some early ones, how many steppings between now and release that cause them to EC their designs? I was close to early servers development for the Pentium Pro. Just when you thought you had the latest stepping, here came another one. The first servers were delayed a lot. Of course, that was Intel (schlock outfit). Tony
