EP, More than adequate is right. Meaning the demand is soft in a market where the competition is unable to supply demand for it's products. Not the best of signs. Wouldn't you rather see demand outstripping supply?

Give me a break Elmer. You are well aware that this isn't a zero-sum game with two simple variables.

To answer your question, I'd rather see AMD increase its market share. You have to create demand first before you can supply it.

Among other things, AMD needs: 1) to continue to build its reputation as a reliable supplier, and 2) to penetrate the biz market.

As we all know, AMD has had trouble in the past executing and supplying OEMs with product. This is especially true with GTW. Consequently, I'm pleased that AMD has been able to supply GTW with adequate supply of the fastest x86 processors in the world....to Intel's direct detriment.

Elmer,

You are absolutely correct. No one wants Athlons. Especially the fast ones.

EP, which is why Intel's customers are turning to AMD.

BTW demand would be drying up AMD's supply as well if it weren't for the great yields.
