wow, tough stuff!

at least, if true

and depending on how the revised
P4's stack up against comparable
AMD cpu's, it will put further
price pressure on AMD

if those with recent P4 mobos can't
make use of the new cooler P4 cpu's,
there will be great unhappiness with
those who've just bought a P4 mobo

i also note that AMD finally dropped
prices on their 940 Opty's, but i think
i'll wait another few months and see
what things look like then.
