Chuckles, Re: "Don't even get there. Mot's microprocessors group is so poorly run - they can't deliver on a lot of stuff. You just need to look at the past decade to see how pathetic their execution was." Now hold it, Chuckles ... I was the one that brought up the poor execution by Motorolo on everything from the 68040 to the G4. Please remember ... This is where AMD is getting their next generation, or two. Make It So, Yousef
