It also didn't help that AMD had issues getting fully functional procs to the mobo makers due to poor initial yields. Realistically, I think we're about a month away from seeing Barcelona running smoothly on our current platforms
ermmm.....I'll know in a week.

got my 3992-E on order now and am working over the powers that be to get it to me earlier.
