<Elmer: Accept reality on this stock and you can make some money.> When you think it's a sure thing, it will bite you. The gurus in the Street come and go. There is still the only same old sure thing: greed and feer. I dare to ask what kind of year-to-date return you got from AMD. How about barring a rate scare, AMD will hit 30 before Y2K bites you. This Xmas will be a merry one for both AMD and INTC. For God sake, just try to be nice to AMD for a nanosecond. Good luck.

Elmer, Here is an article from EB news about Intel's new chipset to support PC133 SDRAM. ebnews.com ___________________ Intel's Solano chipset to take on PC133 SDRAM in January The first chipset from Intel Corp. to support PC133 SDRAM will be the Solano, an upgraded device from within the Intel 810 chipset family that will debut in January-not a new chipset code-named Amador, as has been widely rumored on Wall Street, sources close to the matter said today. Separately, Intel will formally introduce the Camino, or Intel 820, chipset Nov. 15, offering support for Direct Rambus DRAM in desktop PC platforms. The company confirmed that the rescheduled launch will include only a two-socket RIMM memory module configuration, instead of the three-socket version that triggered the chipset's latest delay in September. Camino will support PC100 SDRAM-not PC133-but only by using an extra Memory Translator Hub on the motherboard. It will be left to the Solano to add a PC133 interface to the memory subsystem; the chipset also will include a 133-MHZ front-side bus that supports both Celeron and Pentium processors. Industry sources said Intel has accelerated the Solano introduction by several months to meet demand for the new, faster SDRAM interface. Additionally, in the wake of its recent decision to support all major memory architectures coming into next year's market, Intel is said to be developing a full-blown PC133 chipset that will support an external graphics card, AGP 4X graphics port, and frame buffer memory up to 32 Mbytes-and eventually 54 Mbytes-in density. The faster AGP 4X port is included in the rival Apollo Pro133 chipset now being sold by Taiwan-based independent chipset vendor Via Technologies Inc. It wasn't known if the follow-on PC133-enabled chipset is the rumored Amador, although the device isn't expected to be ready until much later in 2000. Yet another upcoming Intel chipset will support double-data-rate PC266 SDRAM for servers, but sources said the product won't be unveiled until early in 2001. ebnews.com ___________________ Regards, Goutama

RE <<<Guys I sure hate to see you get your hopes up. We've seen this time and time again. I really don't think it's going anywhere.>>> EP, Goutama did not ask for your negative bias on AMD and its stock but rather is the current stock movement more or less likely to be sustained than the last two and what are the reasons for that view. Even companies with bad fundamentals have their stock prices go up and stay up....look at NSM. Just as I suspected intc's stock was coming down a while back, I think this one is going up. I would like to hear why you think its going back down.....your reasons, not your bias. Thanks. ted
