Our friends over in the US, in particularl at JC (http://www.jc-news.com/pc), have noticed that Sys is advertising a $4,000 K7 system running at 800MHz and apparently using some kind of cooling technique. That has led other friends, in particular Jonathan Hou at Fullon3D (http://www.fullon3d.com), to speculate about the price of the K7 by breaking down the spex of this machine. Doing so, the price breaks down to around $750 for a 600MHz part, according to Jonathan. The advert is on page 165 of Computer Shopper US. As the cognoscenti are aware, the UK Computer Shopper is a different beast and is owned by one Felix Dennis. We only see US Computer Shopper when we're in the States but expect to see a K7 system pop up real soon now on a Akihabara site... ®
