Dandy3 - Re: If AMD does ship its dual processor chipset before the end of the year, they will probably take over most of the X86 workstation market very quickly, unless Intel has radically improved its floating point performance by then. Under these conditions, the workstation market will almost certainly embrace Athlon over the next 2 quarters." There it IS AGAIN ! The NEW NAME ! IFAMD !!!! One of my friends on this thread suggested that the company's name be changed to IFAMD because that expression ALWAYS PRECEDES the discussion of some future "event" that the company "may" accomplish. IFAMD !!!!! My son used to use the popular expression "When Pigs Can Fly" to describe events that have no probability of occurring. I coined a new one that he enjoys using even more. To describe a future event that has little or no likelihood of occurring, he now says that such and such will occur when "AMD hits $100/share" ! Paul
