Wolff,
It appears your bark is a bit stronger than your facts.
RE: "monogomus Gateway is not fooling around."
In the past, GW has experienced a divorce with AMD. By the way, GW has two partners now.
RE: "The scraps left by Intel will bring about a strong competitor, you now see now"
In higher margin markets, there's more of a threat of this happening.
RE: "AMD grew strong on the sub-1000 class PCs with the K6 series."
This thesis is not accurate since it involves: a) a low-margin market, to which b) AMD lost quite quickly, when c) Intel decided to go after this market.
RE: "Back to the failed Merced"
I can see you may not have been reading up on the publicly available material.
RE: "The only reason why the Merced will be released is to save face."
I can see you may not have read up on the Server market.
RE: "the borrowed newer technology"
I can see you appear to be unfamiliar with Merced.
RE: "the edge has been taken off Processor speed and given to the Video Card."
In certain markets, yes, but not in totality. The statement appears to lack a complete understanding of the total business picture.
RE: "The last question I have, is how much will Windows 2000 be a hog and slower than Windows98"
Win2000 is not a consumer release. Win2000 follows the naming convention of the consumer release, however, this does not make it a consumer release. Your question does not equate because these are: different markets, different users. i.e. this is comparing apples and oranges.
