Jim, The whole chip sector was down today - was it due to last week of option expirations? Only positive thing I had was Intel Dec 70 puts, which I closed at 7/16. Bought some Intel Dec 70 calls @ 3 1/8. Trying to make some money off of Intel stock buy back which appears to be in the full swing based on yesterday and todays INTC price action. Goutama

Re: "and I should believe some cockamamy benchmark they throw up? Who cares about high priced RAMBO*? Didn't I just post some spec scores to you showing Athlon blowing away the Flopper?" Boy do you have things backwards! SPEC scores are the industry standard and overseen by a SPEC committee. So you don't believe them even when posted by a pro-AMD vendor who had to be embarrassed that the CuMine surpassed their own Holy Alpha! Rinky dink websites run by pimple faced geeks are the authority you respect. Thanks for putting things into perspective. EP
