Elmer, I suspect that MSFT has milestaones for Intel to meet and if they miss there might be another opportunity for AMD. After all MSFT went to a lot of trouble optimising for the Athlon as well and the P-III. A year is quite a while for things to go badly. In addition if this box bombs it will drag Intel down a bit too as they will not recoup eng costs. It is not a sure thing that this design will win. Sony and the others in the dedicated game console business now have CPUs that are so powerful they could carry a browser load as well as a word processor load very easily, so we may see Sony march into the general market. Sure the win2K OS is a help, but it is overkill for a decicated system that does a few things very well. So it is ad to see AMD lose this point in the competition. I do not know how muc of the SP increase was due to the xbox hype??? after all it is a year away from impacting anyones earnings. Bill
