New P4s / 533 FSB WHEN?

[saabcaptain]

I am going to buying a new computer soon (likely a Dell but hey the company pays for it) and was wondering when we will see the next significant technology enhancements... ie. a faster Northwood P4 and the 533 FSB that goes along with it? I assume no GF4 enhancements until fall right?

Thanks, I have to order likely by May maybe as late as June.

The 533FSB chipsets were delayed from late April to late May. The official release, as announced to oems, is the week of May 20. We'll probably see board announcements and leaks before then, but you won't actually be able to buy a 533FSB system from Dell until the week of May 20.
