Simon regarding your roadmap issues: 1) Customers may put off purchasing to wait for next product. According to the press release, they are already doing that. 2) Competitors will know what to implement. Not all the specs need to be given, but a definite timeframe does. Nobody's asking them to publish full design specs. Not even Intel does that. One of the key issues is being able to hold the company accountable for failure to meet their deadlines. It's human instinct to ensure that you don't slip if God and everybody can see what your doing. As far as I'm concerned, this company is on probation and needs a little public scrutiny to set some fire under their asses. No more year and half gaps between follow-up products for them. Nvidia has shown half this game is marketing. The last thing I want is people saying, "Huh, what the hell is a Rampage?" Pat
