AMD Delays Hammer

TeJarz writes "C|Net reports that their next processor (Hammer) has been rescheduled from its original Q4 release to Q1 2003. To quote C|Net: 'The delays are occurring to accommodate the release of a new version of Athlon with a 333MHz bus, said Crank. Current Athlons come with a 200MHz bus and 256KB of secondary cache.' Let's hope this doesn't get moved again."

Now, after Athlons have been out for a long, LONG time, I have an Athlon XP 2000+ sitting around, patiently waiting for me to get a motherboard and case to go along with it's RAM and 80GB hard drive.

dude - if you've got an Athlon2000+ that's "patiently waiting around" then you must have bought the thing when it was brand new -- and paid a hell of a premium to let it sit doing nothing. same chip's probably half price now. i can almost buy your "my 550 celeron runs everything i need!" story .. but then you blow your entire "i don't need to waste money" premise by buying a state-of-the-art processor and then sitting on it until it's middle of the road? i don't get it.
