Investor A, That class action lawsuit against Intel looks quite valid to me. If Intel does indeed make (say) 300 Mhz CPUs and then either limits them by some process to (say) 233 or 266 and marks them as such and charges people as such they are still lying to them. And if they do not limit them and people re-clock them to the 300 Mhz speed they are capable of and sells them as such 300 Mhz then they can do that legally as the core is 300 Mhz, as long as they do not infringe copyright stuff. It looks like Intel will have to settle and pay the $10 billion he claims. What a crooked scheme against AMD to surface at this time. The DPJ must just love it. I remember when NEC made the humble 4116. Their process was so good that they all ran at 150ns, but they made and sold 150, 200,250,300 and 400 all marked at those various speeds and all capable of 150 or better. We used to buy the 400's and install them. Never had trouble, they all worked. Those were the triple voltage ones with the -12v substrate bias. If the -12 failed all your DRAMs cooked at once, nice replacement market. Bill
