wanna, <<"There is no reason to advertise products that won't be useable for six months.">> <LOL. AMD has been "advertising" nothing but Hammer for the past 6 months, even now that their roadmap says "Q4".> AMD's "advertising" is to investors, not computer buyers, totally unlike Computex. <And you might be confusing advertising with showing off a few motherboard reference designs at a trade show.> Now THAT is advertising which makes sense. It is where OEM's and distributors go to decide which boards to buy. <Remember that these motherboard manufacturers sell mainly through the channel, and for them, AMD represents 30-40% of their sales> And your point is.... what? The channel market is exactly the one most sensitive to delaying current purchases for future improved products. Petz
