S, <A fully depreciated Fab is more cost effective than one with new equipment> Huh, they're the same fab. In fact Sanders said it would cost money to remove the old equipment. Sanders said in CC, "All wafer starts on quarter micron by first week of May," so clearly the 0.25 conversion has been accelerated, since July 1 had been mentioned previously. Accelerating the conversion may push the mobo makers to making the 100 MHz AGP boards and/or modifying their boards to at least support the lower K6 voltages. The reason for making the 0.35 chips is to fulfill existing commitments, not because they are cheaper to make, and because its logistically impossible to convert a fab all at once. Petz
