Kevin - " I'd certainly have to be an idiot to pay up for a PIII. My point was that Intel was playing announcement games the same way AMD does." This is the last time I will try this, honest, but... It is not the same. AMD does not provide concrete dates in the future when parts will actually be available in volume to essentially all comers. It is not the same it is not the same. I would bet if you asked OEM's and resellers if there is a difference between Intel's product announcements, and AMD's product announcements, it would confirm what Ten and I have been trying to demonstrate. Most often, consumers reading the newspaper are not the 1st order customer, the OEM's and distribution channel are. I believe that is who Intel is trying to communicate with with its announcements, so they can adjust business plans accordingly. I don't get the sense that OEM's and resellers can get the same level of cognizance with AMD's announcements. OK. I'm done :-) PB
