Craig, Perhaps that explains the problem. Slot 1 are in short supply. Socket 370 is in oversupply. I am sure the big OEM's prefer just building 1 Motherboard and then finishing the product via customer orders. If Intel split the production between the Slot 1 and the socket 370 this can explain the shortage. Obviously the lead-times for the Socket 370 will be in 8-12 week range when we consider offshore manufacturing lead-times. As AMD parts simply use the super 7 boards which are available readily from inventory, this could explain the snafu. Regards, Kash
