See, the risk with preorders! It would be much better if these Opterons were for
the more common Socket 940 motherboards. :-)


If you want an even better pre-order, amazon.co.uk now accepts orders for all 7
volumes of Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". They even expect to
deliver the paperback edition around May 31, 2004.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201038072/qid=1060846130/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_2_12/202-2526934-8175041


The author himself is obviously behind schedule, and expects it to take another
10-15 years. Maybe he is wrong?
