AMD has never been a good long term investment, and I don't see any reason to believe that has changed. The early arrival of Willy, combined with the X-box disaster, gives me no reason to think otherwise. Scumbria, Your comments of late are an extraordinarily dark view of the current AMD/Intel competition. True there is no question that Intel is a formidable opponent but to believe that the game is forfeit because they have more resources at their disposable makes a mockery of why we all came to be here on this thread. I do not have the tech background to dispute your position re SSE issues but I can argue that the X-Box is a big loss and not a disaster, and the early arrival of Willamette will create problems that are not insurmountable. Your position assumes that Intel will execute smoothly something they have failed to do for the past year, that X-Box will be a huge hit and will set new standards, and that AMD does not have clue as to what's going on and that the Athlon was an incredible fluke and AMD must now give up the ghost. I admit your view of the future is a very real possibility but I have a hunch that there are some other very real possibilities that may prevail instead. ted
