Anyone know when the Shuttle SS40 will be available?

I was wondering when suppliers will get this in, it looks to be a great little machine, and since my computer just broke down, I am in the market. Let me know if you have heard anything. I may be tempted to just get the SS50 if it is too long. Thanks, Paul

Why are Athlon XP prices at retailers less than AMD's price in quantities of 1000?

Well, AMD will never be selling their processors at a loss, they will always be making money by selling them :). They have in fact spent tons of money on hammer research, and fab upgrades for the .13 process. That is where the money went.

My first instinct is that it is a motherboard problem. Do a search on the web, and you will be able to find which pins on the PS cable will turn it on. You can stick a paperclip in them and it should power on, and then pull the paper clip out and it should turn off, or somthing along those...
