Rod, re:<AMD missed the notebook and laptop boat> Actually, Rod, the notebook boat is the biggest opportunity for AMD in the next six months. I think you will soon see 266 and 300 MHz laptops with AMD chips inside and no answer from Intel. With the Pentium II, Intel chose brute force (high current flow in transistors) to get the speed up to 300 MHz so it will be a long time before a 0.25 um Pentium II-300 gets down to 10w power dissipation or less (the P2-300 draws 44 watts). The latest Intel roadmap in yesterday's Infoworld shows that the 266 MHz mobile Pentium II will be out in April-May '98. Intel is claiming "third quarter" for the 300 MHz. We'll see. I agree AMD missed the NT server boat, but this is not an area of computing that has open standards, and AMD does not have the market clout to enforce its own multiprocessing standards. I'm curious, who do you like for NC's? NSM because of system level integration, or non-x86 solutions? Petz
