EDIT: Oops. not ATI, AMD.

Ummmm.... yeahh....

ATI? I thought that they only did graphics and maybe pc chipsets?.... And i certainly as hell didn't know AMD was licensing their CPU's now... -lol

And i gotta agree... just cuz its 2200 don't make it a Tbred. :/

I think 2200+ is Palomino.

Kind of. From what I've read, there was a 2200+ Palomino produced -- this is probably what we're seeing online for sale now, unless these sites are taking preorders. According to a broken NDA, we're not supposed to see Thoroughbred til the 10th of this month.
