Pravin - Re: "They wanted Dresden to be built for copper from the get-go. "

That is pure hogwash.

Dresden was DESIGNED in 1995/1996 and construction began in EARLY 1997.

Copper wasn't added until around June, 1998 when the Motorola deal was announced.

That is why the Dresden fab is VERY LATE - and getting LATER.
