    It was always the 14th over here, well that's what I had in writing from Intel. What are they up to? Sometimes NDAs are brought forward when someone breaks NDA early e.g. the premature launch by several days of ATi's 4870+4850 GPUs was caused by a French company putting them up for sale and releasing benchmarks early. Not sure how this is the case here though...... :rolleyes:

    The Full platform = processor, and wifi card. Wimax is something different, sort of an added feature to wifi, but is not included in the "centrino 2 set". WiMax is set for a later date.

    Its probably down till 12 est when the INTEL NDA goes down.

    Would be very surprising if we see that the 9800mgtx is avaialable and it turns out that Nvidia was waiting for the centrino platform to come out also o_O :D
