Jim, Re<< AMD is intentionally ramping the K6-III slowly. For some reason you think they intended a major ramp quickly. They only have so much fab space and the K6-2 is selling well. They also need space for the K7. Also makes sense to take it easy until they can get good yields on the 450 and a 500 lest they be stuck with a bunch of 400s.>>

Very well said Jim.

Aggresively ramping K6-III is a risk that AMD does not want to take at this point. Next quarter will be different at 0.18.
