Petz RE <<<Amortization of the goodwill on this one will decrease Intel earnings by 75M a quarter for the next five years.>> I am sure you saw the article posted earlier but intc doesn't bother to amortize goodwill over several years.....it would interfere with the profits that the intc longs boast about. ted

Petz - Re: "ho-hum another Intel acquisition at 15X book value (DSP). Amortization of the goodwill on this one will decrease Intel earnings by 75M a quarter for the next five years. With 9.5M in net income in DSP's best ever last quarter, just subtract 65.5M/(3.556 billion shares) or 1.8 cents per share from Intel's earnings for the next five years. A billion here, a billion there, even for a company with 3.6 billion shares, it starts adding up." You SHOULD feel panicy !!!! Your beloved AMD is parting itself out - selling the furniture, headquarters building, profitable divisions - anything to help make the DEBT payments and meet the monthly payroll !!! And AMD's nemesis is re-investing in excellent growth technologies such as CDMA Wireless chip sets, networking interface chips, Web Hosting centers, etc. AMD has it's eye on today's expenses - and Intel has its eye on the future - 1,2 and 5 years down the road. You should be worried about AMD's lack of any game plan - except for selling its body parts just to remain in the game. Paul
