John,

Re: "Why not use Al-0.25 just for the K6-3, and do all Athlon 0.18 in Dresden?"

Because the .18um Copper process at Dresden is a very "risky proposition".
AMD needs to have a "backup" plan if the Dresden Copper process falls
behind schedule or has delivery problems. You don't want more K6/K6-2
manufacturing delivery type problems ... Do you ??

Make It So,
Yousef

I think that's pretty much the plan (the hope?). Except that the K6-3 has to move to .18 in order to allow a speed increase. AMD is hoping to position 600MHZ K6-3 against the 600MHZ Pentium III and they'll need .18 Al at Austin to do it.
