I cannot give an exact day, but I >am confident, in 1-3 months. :) You see?! I'm not upset in the slightest about having purchased my 1.4 GHz. Athlon (the better type) 6 weeks ago, if in 1-3 months from it will still only be a 1.53Ghz. (even though my computer is in a place where I cannot see it often, which is quite sensless. But that's besides the point). It didn't cost too much, relatively, and It's still at the top. Get it now quick! AND PLEASE, TAKE A LOOK AT MY POST ABOVE (IN THIS THREAD) AND GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS! ANYONE. Thanks S.Taylor > >Is 130mhz worth waiting for? That's up to you! > > >Slate
