RDM, RE:" Large OEMs have to sign up with AMD now to reserve a priority slot for product allocation should the K7 work as well as anticipated. No major OEM wants to be locked out of a market like the K7 could create." This is true...how did you know this? You must have good sources. <G> I understand Gateway wanted the K6-2-400 so they wouldn't be left out in the cold on the K6-3 and K7 but AMD didn't have enough chips. I also understand Dell is looking at the K6-3 for the same reason... As I've suggested, the K-7 could turn the OEM boxmaker world upside down....I've seen it happen in other industries. Jim
