Just got a message from one of my suppliers, with info from Acer, that they cannot ship some notebooks because of AMD chip shortages.

I wonder if the kahootz between Dell and Intel might have devised this plan all along? (my conspiracy theory of the day)

I wonder how much of the current situation is simply about limited capacity mixed with the considerable increase in average die size courtesy of a higher percentage of dual-cores shipped.

I credit the price cuts, i jumped when the X2 prices fell. Conroe looks nice, but it was cheaper for me to stick with my 939 board.

Theinq actually did a little research about this:

Impossible to find things like X2 5000+. However, OEMs dont seem to have the same troubles. So its easy to see who gets shafted in the future.

In Denmark the X2 5000+ is in backorder in all shops at all companies. 8-27days for those even writing a date on when they expect them back. None of them got a single one.

:o( I didn't have the money to get A64-X2 for my 939 when the prices fell and now availability is short and prices have gone up as a result (£ 95-120). So now I'm tempted to save up another £40 and just go all out for C2D, AM2 is too pointless. Ironically it's nVidia's lack of a good SLI C2D chipset which is the biggest chink in C2D's armour. Come on AMD, get it together or you will be deserted.

12 truckloads surrounding assembly plants takes Stock. Dell, as I understand it, pays based on entry, not arrival.

...Athlon 64 or Athlon 64 X2 processors, Nvidia integrated graphics with DVI output...

I'm a little surprised it's not ATI graphics, but I guess Dell would be calling the shots here.

Good for AMD, sucks a little if you can only go to a local shop though I guess. Seems to be plenty of them still available @ the online retailors.

Don't discount HP in this. They've had a much longer relationship and the dx5150 (dx denotes SMB despite very high corporate sales) has moved to a full corporate dc SKU (dc5750) for AM2. I've seen HP very keen to push this given that the dx5150 opened their eyes on the desktop (they were opened far sooner on the server range of course).
