Re: "I like these comments from some of the oems" Goutama, How can this be? Processors are stacked floor to rafters in the warehouse and Jerry can't even get to executive washroom with all the boxes cluttering up his office. Just ask the two biggest AMD longs, Paul and Elmer. ajb

<"Compaq continues to see TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM AND EXCITEMENT among consumers for the AMD Athlon processor," said Mark Vena, Director, CTO Product Marketing, Compaq Computer Corporation. "With this next leap forward in processor performance, the Compaq Presario desktop family continues to deliver the ultimate Internet and gaming experience for consumers who require nothing less than the highest power and speed in their desktop systems." "We have seen a STRONG DEMAND for the current Aptiva systems, specifically the Aptiva S Series 880 with the 800 MHz AMD Athlon microprocessor. AMD continues to be a RELIABLE PARTNER to IBM in delivering microprocessing technology that enhances productivity by maximizing speed and performance," according to Brian Dalgetty, Director, IBM Desktop Product Marketing. "Coupled with AMD's new 850MHz Athlon processor, we will be able to offer individuals the solutions to satisfy their every computing need at an affordable price." > How can this be? How can OEMs have strong sales of highend Athlons? What are you trying to do? Confuse Paul and his followers with bogus information?
