Petz, It is very delightful to get a response from all the demoralized AMD investors. Excellent, now shall we talk about the real issues: "For the next 5-6 months 100 MHz SDRAM will be expensive." How much more expense, do you know? "Wavetable sound cards are now almost exclusively PCI now." I do find that hard to believe. It is not necessary to do so. "maybe you're confusing that news with Intel buying SB" Isn't SB = Sound Blaster = Creative Labs or something? Get real, FTC doesn't have to stomp on this. When Intel sees that it is important for the development of computer industry, the company then does something about it by buying the expertise. Nothing wrong with that! Stop whining. It has nothing to do with you. "Intel tried to do that [(sound card embedded on motherboards)] a long time ago, without much success." Yeah, because Intel does not produce sound cards. After the acquisition of Creative Labs, it would be a different story. Then, the next missing piece of technology on the motherboard would be the power management ICs. I do expect a buy-out of such a company soon. This all makes sense. "price of success [(Petz's third lengthy vacation in half a year])" Wonderful, I am glad for you. Please drop me a tip or two on how you achieve that success by working for a defense contractor. John.
