Does anyone believe there is a chance the stock may split before the company split? These prices are pretty lofty for HWP from a traditional stand point, but once the company splits, the stock will be lower (I would imagine). Thoughts? I've never been involved with a situation quite like this. Jody

Fred, The K-7 chip will be out very soon as it is supposed to have a 200 MHZ bus speed which should be quite an improvement over any chip out there to date. I do look for Intel to counter with another processor later this year however. The biggest problem today in the industry is heat dissipation as have you ever looked at the fan setup in the new P III's. It consumes a lot of space. I have talked to some friends of mine who are engineers and they haves said that whoever comes up with a circuit that lowers or eliminates heat dissipation will have something valuable to offer. These same engineers are watching a little known company in Denver Nanopierce Technologies as it nearing a breakthrough in a connection problem in the smart card known as a contactless card as it puts out a RF. It doesn't dissipate any heat and so far testing is going better than expected. Their website is www.nanopierce.com. Their circuit also appears to be able to be bent without breaking or loosing contact points. By the way is HP using less AMD processors than it used to as most of the new models seem to have Intel P III's or Celeron processors?
