Kevin - Re: " Does anyone know what production lead time normally is for the big OEM's (Compaq, IBM,e etc., excluding Dell and Gateway, which I assume have shorter leadtimes)? Is 89 days close to being realistic? " For Intel product announcements, the production lead time from major vendors is ZERO ! Intel's major customers generally announce products with NEW Intel chips on the same day that Intel announces the chips. These products are generally available immediately (Dell, Gateway, sometimes Compaq) or within a week or two of the announcement. The rub is, Kevin, that when Intel announces a new CPU, they have actually qualified the device and have been shipping it to their customers for 4 or 6 weeks in production volumes. Paul
