AMD is not horrible about announcing a chip and then releasing it 3 months later. The 2400/2600+ is the first time AMD has delayed a release after announcing it. Any knowledgeable computer user will tell you that Intel is the king of the "paper launch". They have used the "paper launch" tactic many times over the last few years to save face when AMD beat them to the punch. The 1Ghz and 1.13Ghz PIII fiasco are perfect examples of Intel deception tactics. And they have used it with several P4 launches as well. Next time, please do a little research before you talk out your *ss. On September 30, 2002 at 00:05:40, Slater Wold wrote: > >I got the annoucement in August that the 2600s would be coming out soon.
