Yes, its not news its a comment, point is all in all its a big lengthy delay,it holds the same validity as some one ranting in these forums.

But being a dual socket Opteron user its a frustrating experience.

my 2 cents

OEM's get their chips months or atleast weeks before launch but not able to see a decent working board after weeks of launch is the problem,forget about benchmarking and losing crown kind of stuff.

Stabilizing takes time its ok, but minimal working should not.

Problem is with board makers or BIOS writers or with barcs or combined ?

PS: Nothing against you Phil,its an AMD chip buyer/little fan frustration.
