re:"If Anand is right there still isn't a fully debugged K7." I'm having some trouble with the schedules here. If there isn't a debugged K7 now, how will boxmakers make products available for sale in June. Maybe there is a fully debugged K7 around, but not available to Anand, or Anand has one, but can't say or there has been a misinterpretation of Anand's remarks. Scumbria says that June will bring the K7 and I am assuming that he is correct. Burt

RE:"Jim - this is exactly what we were trying to tell you last December when you declared the K7 just about ready for production." Obviously my definition of "ready for production" was not the same as yours. I suppose I should have said a "production run of test chips". Never the less, the K7 seems close to reality. As far as bugs, do you know when Anands leaked K7 was made? I don't and you don't either. A lot could have been debugged since he got his sample. I agree there may not be a fully debugged K7...yet we cannot be certain this is holding up the release. Could be the MB, chipset, not enough stockpiled K7s, whatever. Jim

Elmer - RE: " If Anand is right there still isn't a fully debugged K7." Do you know when Anand got his K7? Do know when Anand's K7 was made? Do you know what "revision" K7 Anand has? Do you know that there isn't a final K7? Do you know that just because Anand doesn't have a K7 yet, there isn't a final K7 yet? Do you know when the chip Anand will get was/will be made? OK then. For a self-proclaimed foil, you sure like to speculate about the K7. Wait a sec, wasn't it you who didn't like it for us to do the same (speculate)??? Hypocrisy at its best!
