Vroeger moesten we na dit soort press releases nog zo'n volle maand (of langer) wachten totdat we ze ook echt konden kopen, maar dat is nu niet het geval. Volgens een vriend bij een groothandel hier in NL kunnen we vanaf de 28ste de cpu's ook in ons kikkerlandje verwachten. Maar aan de andere kant, wie zit er nu eigenlijk nog op een K6-2 te wachten?":
