Scumbria - <Transmeta is a joke. > I prognosticated this to one of my more paranoid Intel friends just this weekend, after he mailed me the Transmeta website link. I forgive him though, he's just doing his job (being paranoid :0). And I'm sure somebody at Intel is being paid just to be paranoid about Transmeta. Good insurance. PB

re:AMD engineering has been anything but inept for many years now. MIPS and Motorola do not make x86 processors. Transmeta is a joke. VIA will probably give everyone fits by selling computers at very low prices. I agree re AMD engineering, I am VERY impressed with the Athlon and will probably get one after this strike date. I put Mips and Mot in there because they "could" decide to enter the fray, not likely, but just as a note about the extensive engineering and process talent present in other companies. Transmeta to me is an unknown variable, and Via... well there is a very large market for lower speed grades in asia/subcontinent. 'zyme
