Yousef Re <<This is a very "big area" that AMD has really missed out on ..>> All mighty Yousef, these are very expensive notebooks and the volume is not big. Not every one made as much money as you by being short AMD over the past 6 months! Once the 266 MHz Athlon hits the market, maybe some of the poor AMD shareholder can afford a computer. Mani

Yousef - Re: "600/650 MHz SpeedStep Mobile Coppermines in FULL PRODUCTION." This is a very "big area" that AMD has really missed out on ... I now have a portable with a docking station as my main PC. Many others in large corporations are also headed to this configuration. Not good news for AMD, IMHO." Yep - AMD just BURNS POWER to get their speed. And now they are GETTING BURNED in the lucrative Corporate Notebook market segment. Intel is laughing all the way to the Bank (where AMD is making their Loan Payments !). Paul

Athlon is less than 6 months old, cut them a little slack. Spitfire will go into laptops, bookmark this post and if within a year spitfire is not in laptops you can ridicule me to your hearts content. But if I am right and spitfire is put in laptops with Gemini they will bring the Athlon pain that Intel is feeling now right down into that "big area" that you are referring to. You better hope that I am wrong. Thanks, Epinephrine
