PB, <<Of all the things I said I thought this was the obvious one! Clearly, the results are in - due to the delays on Wilamette, AMD is taking the lead in x86 market.> What do you mean by "lead"? The phantom announcement of a 650 K7? Going to make the excuse for the current situation of no systems that its not AMD's fault? I don't know how you can call what AMD is doing right now "leading". > First of all - a correction. You can see that my phrasing "is taking the lead". "Leading" is your word. About the motherboard delays, you very well know that I was one of the few people on the thread holding AMD responsible for it. So, I think you may have me confused with someone else. Other than that, you very well know what I am talking about. <You can continue to bite as a gnat at the heels of the machine, but it appears that it continues to role on quite nicely, now that Asia is coming back.> Intel is a machine alright but needs a "CPU core" upgrade. I was the one of the first guys to comeout and say that Intel's Q3 was going to better than previous expectations (this was a few days before the Drew Peck call, if I recall) and now, I am probably the one of the few guys anywhere who thinks Intel's Q3 is not as rosy as people make it out to be. Don't count me out yet - no, preannouncements so far. Chuck
