Goutama Re <<I feel that they are a niche player targeting Mechanical Eng CAD/CAM workstation segment.>> I find that hard to see considering they have about $2.0 Billion (too high for such a niche field) in annual revenues. But then again, they did have a booth at the Solid Work show/conference. Re << they might be advertising their wares in journals and magazines specific to these fields.>> I have not seen any. I do see a lot of Xeon adds on those magazines though. No Athlon adds either. Mani

Goutama <I haven't heard of Pionex either, until they signed up with AMD. From their announcement, I feel that they are a niche player targeting Mechanical Eng CAD/CAM workstation segment.> I will try to learn a little more about Pionex and their target market when the local reseller contacts me later this month. Their "desktop" line reminded me of workstation specs so that I had to ask halfway through the call to be sure we were on the same page. It will be interesting to get a quote and assess their understanding of how to sell technology to an engineer. PT
