McJimbo - re: " If IBM buys AMD they wouldn't have to pay all that money to AMD for chips now would they? "

Yes they would - when they found out how much it costs AMD to make them ! Have you heard that AMD is LOSING MONEY, Jimmie ?

Re: "I was talking about IBMs failures when trying to compete with Intel in the chip market. ie, 486slc, IBM686, powerPC etc....not to mention the failures of IBM vs Microsoft. re: IBM-DOS and OS2"

IBM - Lou Gerstner - has stated that they won't be fighting - and losing - thise old wars any more.
