Kevin, >>>Re: "nobody will trust AMD chips for any mission critical applications. Give us a break."

Intel retail PC share, 8/97: 84.3%
Intel retail PC share, 8/98: 54.3%

Retail = NOT mission critical. The computers AMD, and lower cost Intel chips go into are called "toys" by some. OTOH, servers are not quite big iron, but they're getting there. Let's see how many of the HPs, IBMs, Dells, Unisys', Compaqs, Fujitsus, Bulls, Sequents, etc. the K7 gets into as a serious server chip by next March. My money is on zilch.
