RE:"How long do you think it takes HPQ to make a PC? The "back to school build" that ends at retail on 9/1 apparently didn't start this year until sometime in July (for CPUs, anyway), so I think September CPUs aren't too late." Well, since there have to be new motherboards to handle these chips because of the speeds I suspect HPQ just can't pop them in and ship. They likely want to have a few working systems around to validate, find a model number, figure out the configuration etc. Up till recently they probably weren't too sure they could even get these 2400 and 2600+ chips so I suspect they don't have a box ready and waiting. With AMD is not when, it's IF? They also probably commited high end space to P4s already as well. Jim
