Burt,
RE:"Mani Re <<My source for this information has been very reliable in the
past - as you know.>>

Sorry to inform you but Paul was dead on with his info well before it
was public knowledge several times. For example, a few months back he
was the first I saw posting that there was a huge overhang of unsold K6
chips and was the only one posting that info (from his sources) back
then. He was abused verbally with great sarcasm back then on this
thread, and was dead right. I think the only issue here is whether his
sources were/are accurate in their assessment."...

I believe Paul said there was an overhang of 1 million chips, not the actual 2.3 million. I believe that AMD typically has about 600K chips normally on hand at the end of a quarter. So where's the great call?
I'd call it a tenuous call at best and no call at worse. Certainly not "dead on".

Jim
