Steve, thanks for the links. Re: I understand Intel didn't hurt AMD with the Celeron, AMD fell flat on it's face with K6 yields. Intel ramped the clock speeds of Celeron very rapidly, while keeping prices low, and AMD couldn't keep up and had to cut prices. You can call it a yield problem, but it is more of a bin split problem. Yield on parts that were competitive was low, but yield on less than competitive parts was ok. I think AMD needs to go to all Athlon mix (except maybe mobile parts) as soon as possible. You need to sell more than 1 million CPUs in order to nurture plentiful supply of motherboards and quality chipsets development. Joe
