Earlie, there is a lot of info to dispute with you in your post. I'll start with this one because it made my blood pressure rise:

>>AMD will debut the K7 in the next few weeks. It may well be a "Pentium killer" and, if delivered in quantity, will ravage Intel's high margin server sales.<<

Server sales? No self-respecting network designer would even think of using an AMD product in a server machine. The problem isn't AMD's CPU, it's the damn inferior chipsets manufactured by losers like VIA Technologies and SIS that have *historically* made AMD based machines less stable than their Intel counterparts. Now I am talking about history here. So based on this history, expect a lengthy evaluation and acceptance period for AMD based boxes in the server market.

AMD is already dead...they just don't know it yet. (Maybe their President knows though, as he left rather sudden like.) AMD does not have the manufacturing yields to compete with Intel without self-destructing along the way.
