Aaron - Re: "From this I assume that Intel would have a very difficult job fixing the fab's problems as it stands? Why is this so?" Fixing broken machinery is often much more complex than building well designed machines from scratch. Do you want to hire a few thousand folks that spent the last 5 years of their life trying to put YOU (Intel) out of business ? Moreover, AMD's fabs are not for sale, Intel doesn't need them, Intel doesn't want them. It's a moot point. Re: " They seemed quite willing to take on Dec's fab even though it wasn't designed by them." This did two things: 1. It got Intel OUT of a problem (DEC lawsuit)- not INTO a problem. 2. It gave Intel the StrongARM devices, designs and Intellectual Property as well as some PCI bridge chips - all of which have value in their OWN right. Paul
