Dr W -
Even you would have to admit the risk of competitor knowledge (of which at this point they probably have enough) is likely lower than the benefits of putting some large amount of members of this and other forums on the shopping list for a Nehalem when it arrives. I mean there is a reason you sell the most expensive chip first right? Does not some amusement come from watching us just sitting here dying to run off to some website and hit "add to cart" the moment this chip hits the shelves?

I mean no disrespect, but rather there has to be some light in this tunnel I hope. And since you've been more than straight with us in the past on numerous topics I'm putting this plainly as well. If you find this painful to see, and I have not lightened your day at all, my apologies.
