Jim - <Biggest mistake I saw with the K6 was that the FPU wasn't pipelined. Then the stricter design rules that wouldn't let it scale quite as good and yield as well as the P6 core.> These are viable technical reasons why the K6 had some perception problems. Given these, do you think it was wise to be so aggressive with its business plan? I believe the last year's results speak for themselves. I suppose if intel would have not responded with Celeron, everything would be hunky dory in AMD land. Jim
