Scumbria, <How do you think INTC will fare the day that a major OEM starts selling Athlon systems?> With the expected volume of Athlons it should make no difference. Theoretically.

Scumbria, <How do you think INTC will fare the day that a major OEM starts selling Athlon systems?> The same way it fared the day AMD made their phantom Athlon announcement a few weeks ago. FF

SCUMbria - Re: "How do you think INTC will fare the day that a major OEM starts selling Athlon systems?" How well has AMD done since August, 1997 when IBM - and then all other OEM's except Dell - started selling AMD Kdawg 62 machines? Go ahead - total up the losses. The stock is DOWN about 50% since that GREAT, EVENTFUL DAY ! Paul
