Re: AMD has never had a processor of their own... Well, if you're talking general purpose CPU's, can't we at least give them credit for the K6 series? Or are you saying that they bought that one from Nexgen? Well, at least the Athlon is pure AMD, and something to be proud of. Of course to me, AMD will always bring to mind the 29K - am I showing my age? :-) On the other issues, no argument. There are some political reasons why Intel could have decided to let AMD experience moderate success in the low end of the market, but it's hard to get too upset with them for fighting back when AMD cut prices. I have no idea if AMD's engineers are "jumping ship" or not. I'd guess that most would hang around for awhile, the chance to keep developing the Athlon family has got to be an attractive proposition. But maybe not, I have no direct knowledge. Dan
