Chuck, <<do you know when we can see this stuff in retail?>> Jerry did say in Q1 CC that K7 boxes from tier one OEM(s) will appear in retail as early as in July.

Charles Re <<What is the turn around time for Dell/Gateway and what is the turn around time for CPQ/HP/IBM>> GTW and Dell have inventory turnaround very 6 days or so. So in average it takes 6 days from the time they receive a part to the time they ship it to a customer. Inventory turn around for CPQ is as high as 2 to 3 weeks. However, it takes time to evaluate a chip, design a system around it and ready it for installation in a manufacturing line. That process will take a month or so if none of the parts are buggy, more if they have to debug components. Considering that K7 is very new, design process must be about 3 months or so IMO. I assume all the OEM's which are expected to start shipping K7 based system in July are well under way in their design process. AMD most likely has shipped sample units to all the big OEM's. Mani
