ted - <Goutama, that's funny about a shortage of 500 Athlons....the Taiwanese know good value when they see it.> Rhetorical question (don't take it the wrong way): Why didn't AMD foresee that there would be this much demand for the 500's and accommodate the market by bringing more capacity online to handle the demand? Couldn't they have known that the 500's would be hot sellers, and just adjusted their production schedules accordingly? Maybe they could have cut back on some of their .18 production to meet this demand at the low end? :-) PB
