PB, The network microprocessor is an interesting idea.. and it's one to watch. As I said, Intel's non x86 product have the best chance for success in the longer term. I'm really getting disenfrachised with the x86 market place. Steve

PB, Check out what is being said over on this other thread. Seems like one of the more ridiculous statements I've seen concerning any company. On the serious side of the equation, I have an electrical engineering advisor that believes Intel has not developed a crack manufacturing process technology group. This makes some sense because if a company is a monopoly in their business area this process is not required to be the "best that they can be". I saw evidence of this in the last few years with product push-outs, delayed deliveries and quality problems. It is my opinion that their margins should be expanding instead of contracting if they were real experts in this area. If this conjecture is correct Intel will have to pay attention to this area or the world is going to get more difficult very fast. Message 10456499 Good luck over there. Bob
