Yougang,

<Chuck, why are you silent on Hector announcement?

What's your take on CC?>

Here is what I think:

- It is good that it was someone from outside
- It is even better that it is a heavyweight
- Ruiz seems to be very personable - good for President/COO - should be a great guy internally
- Ruiz's comments were somewhat unpolished - I think he may need some time to comeup to speed on the IR side (probably did not get that exposure at Mot)
- Jerry's comments about HP-800s may have been a little out of line (getting ahead of the customer) but is a great news for stockholders. Another top-tier OEMs will have top-of-the-line 800s (and soon 850s I am sure). Between Compaq/HP/Gateway I think AMD has retail side locked now. Low-end and high-end.
- Jerry's comment about Dresden in June contradicts the data I have - If true this is mild negative (I am hearing/expecting April)

Overall, I was pleased. I think this will be received very positively on the street.

Chuck

P.S.: I was sorely disappointed with the analysts on the call. Jerry and Frank were ready to give more guidance but the opportunity was not taken.
