dEngel, RE:"McPanic - Re: "I just can't help but think IBM still has a thing about paying Intel all that money for CPUs...jealousy maybe. " Then why is AMD pricing the Athlon so high - so IBM can CONTINUE to pay all that money to AMD ? Re: "Given the right chip they still may buck up to Intel...despite their failures in the past..." Intel's SUCCESSES far outnumber their failures. You must be thinking of AMD's failures".... .... If IBM buys AMD they wouldn't have to pay all that money to AMD for chips now would they? I was talking about IBMs failures when trying to compete with Intel in the chip market. ie, 486slc, IBM686, powerPC etc....not to mention the failures of IBM vs Microsoft. re: IBM-DOS and OS2. Jim
