RE:"We will see if they can fumble the k-7 as well.".... If they are going to rely on Taiwan chipset makers then I see AMD as possibly fumbling the K7 introduction. This has been my greatest fear going back to the super 7 chipsets from Ali and VIA that needed a couple revisions before they got the bugs worked out. In the case of Asus and Abit, Asus originally abandoned a super 7 board because of the Ali Alladin chipset and Abit never did come out with one for the same reason. So even if the K7 is ready in May/June, which I think it will be BTW, what good will it be if there are no reliable motherboards? Large OEMs could back away until the existing motherboards are proven...never mind the K7 chip itself. AMD is said to have a 3rd chipset maker, lets hope that it's someone as good as Intel is at making chipsets. Jim
