Tejerk - Re: "On the contrary AMD is an easy double in the next 6 months...." Why is it "easy" ? AMD admitted that they won't even be PROFITABLE until some time next year. Re: "And yet intc is discounting the hell of its low end chips and is starting to discount the PIII's as well in the higher low end (of course it does not have a chip to match the high end Athlon). How do you think they are going to come up with those higher margins and asps? I am sure, of course, that they will. " I also am sure they will ! Remember - Intel's Pentium /// is being rapidly adopted - in contrast to AMD's Kmart 63. And the MINIMUM price for Pentium /// is >$200 ! Re: "Before I go, did I tell you that AMD has the fastest chip in all the land? " Praise be to ALLAH ! By the way - AMD is DOWN over a $1 since "the fastest chip in all the land? " was stealth launched for the second time ! By the way - did I mention that Intel is UP over $6 since "the fastest chip in all the land? " was stealth launched for the second time by AMD ? Paul

Ted, How do you think they are going to come up with those higher margins and asps? I am sure, of course, that they will. After all, we are talking about the great and mighty intc. However I am curious to see if you know how this financial coup will be accomplished. Probably will be accomplished because of a couple of words starting with letters down near the end of the alphabet: the V word and the Y word. Leave it as an exercise to the student (not hard). Tony
