Steve,
RE:"Where is Jimbo?"

I'm still on the road on the laptop.
I've mainly been lurking. Especially enjoyed Athwipe Paul running out of excuses today. I suspect he's in the garage chopping wood....
Noticed that Youseless showed up for a while, while AMD was showing a little weakness but again he's "gone overseas"...
jajajaja

Jim

steve, and I noticed this on AMDZone also:
"idiot also let me know about this post on JC's messageboard about AMD fabbing Spitfires in Austin. There is also talk of building another fab in Austin. Remember, who knows if this is true or not."

I think this plays into the XBox story. Austin will be making lots and lots of Spitfires for XBox if rumors have substance.
Here's the link on JC's:
jc-news.com

AMDZone also pointed out that the switch from GigaPixel to NVidia makes sense if XBox is a 2000 project rather than a 2001 project.
