Kevin:

RE: "If AMD is serious about shipping 1 million Athlons in Q4,
that's pretty good news."

This will all depend on:

1.-Will AMD actually be able to produce 1M Athlons in the 4th quarter?
2.-If they actually pull off #1, will any computer company (IBM, CPQ, etc.) want to buy the Athlon?
3.-If #2 happens, will the consumer opt for an Athlon computer?
4.-Will Intel sit by and watch this happen without "aggressively competing"?
5.-Will the average user (consumer and business) be able to discern a meaningful difference between a PIII - 600 MHz and a 600 MHz Athlon?
6.-If all of the above is true, will a million Athlons do it for AMD?
7.-Will AMD be able to successfully ramp to the number of Athlons that will bring them to profitability.
7.-Can anyone still believe Colonel Sanders's pronouncements?
