Survivin, thanks. RE:"Forthcoming microprocessors from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD known as Thunderbird and Spitfire are on track and there don't appear to be any manufacturing or production problems, which can often hamper the introduction of new microprocessors, Niles said." Now where did Niles find this out? RE:"Niles also raised his estimates on AMD for the current quarter to 50 cents a share from 41 cents; he boosted estimates for 2000 to $2.60 from $1.95 and his 2001 estimates to $3.35 from $2.50 " Wait a minute. Niles boosts estimates current q earnings from .41 to .50 and the stock goes up $4 in a down market. So what happens if AMD comes in at $.75 or $.95? Or a buck? Jim

survivin AMD, which has been on a tear lately due largely to the success of its Athlon processor, should also benefit from forthcoming announcements by major PC makers that they will begin using the Athlon chip in some of its PCs slated for the corporate market, Niles said. The Athlon chips should start appearing in corporate PCs late in the second quarter and early in the third, he said. Intel has long held a virtual lock on that portion of the PC market while AMD has traditionally been stronger in the consumer market. What does Niles know they we don't? Which pc makers in the corporate market? ted

Survivin - RE: "Niles has spoken." I'll repost the BAM material ;) - "Forthcoming microprocessors from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD known as Thunderbird and Spitfire are on track and there don't appear to be any manufacturing or production problems, which can often hamper the introduction of new microprocessors, Niles said." BAM! "AMD, which has been on a tear lately due largely to the success of its Athlon processor, should also benefit from forthcoming announcements by major PC makers that they will begin using the Athlon chip in some of its PCs slated for the corporate market, Niles said.

BAM BAM BAM!!!
