Nope, they will make a little step from K6-2 400 to k6-3 450, as the core of the K6-2 already proved to run perfect at 500, and will do 450 flawless...So i don't see any real barriers right now. This little step is in MHz though, performance makes a major Leap . (Why shouldn't we call the sharptooth "K6-3Armstrong" ?;) FHWL, Michael

Re: "Just what "changed" over the weekend?" There are a couple of explanations: 1) You're right, and Sharpy is delayed because AMD is having problems. Because it's expensive, it will only be a notebook chip. -or- 2) Sharpy will be a notebook chip because K7 will be introduced sooner than the roadmap calls for. The same reasons Intel isn't putting Dixon on the desktop are the reasons that AMD isn't putting Sharpy on the desktop. Given your record, I think #1 is unlikely. By the way, have you sold those 10 shares you bought "on a lark" yet? Maybe the explanation is that you really bought a "ton" of shares, and you were riding around on your "Lark" at the time: coast-resources.com <gg> Kevin
