< I would say AMD kept their promise, right?> Wrong. There are quality standards in this industry. The fact that a motherboard may or may not be overclocked is not the measure ( well maybe to you and Fuchi). The big players will demand industry standard quality and they will demand proof. Fuchi's or Anand's testamonials are not enough. In this industry AMD does not have a product until they meet the standards. I don't know whether or not they have but I do notice that IBM and Compaq don't offer an AMD 100mhz bus system (correct me if I am wrong but I haven't seen one). This may not be the only reason these systems aren't out yet, the K6's may be in very short supply. When a top tier vendor is shipping a 100mhz system then you can conclude they are available at proper quality levels. EP
