Volgens The Register zal het tekort aan BX en ZX chipsets nog tot eind dit jaar aanhouden:
Distributors close to Intel's plans have suggested that a shortage of BX and ZX chipsets will not get better until the end of the year at the earliest. At the same time, Intel is taking steps to further encourage adoption of its i810 chipset by using it for Pentium III processors as well as Celeron chips, according to Techweb.According to UK, German and US distributors, there is no let up in the scarcity of BX motherboards, with preference being given to Intel's top OEMs and Chipzilla-only distributors.
A German distributor we talked to at IDF last week said that because he was not an Intel-only house, he had found himself desparate for BX mobos, in order to meet demand from customers.
Dus tegen de tijd dat ze weer ruim voorradig zullen zijn maakt het allemaal niet zoveel meer uit, want dan wil iedereen een Camino (of Athlon) plank...
