Petz - Re: "why is it that AMD is now the LARGEST MANUFACTURER OF FLASH MEMORY and Intel is dropped to #2? " AMD is NOT the largest manufacturer of FLASH. Assuming that article was correct (and there is no real evidence to assume this) it said that AMD + FUJITSU combined are larger than Intel. Now, Fujitsu gets to sell FLASH under its OWN name for its OWN REVENUE every where but in the US (I believe) and AMD gets to sell FLASH every where but JAPAN - correct me if I'm wrong - so basically, they both DIVIDE their share between themselves. That makes AMD about one half the size of Intel in FLASH memory - as a rough guess. Paul
