Some of you may not know this. The reason Dell did not use AMD last December is because AMD did not meet the requirement. Dell wants a couple hundred thousand units of the top speed immediately or no deal. If Niles is correct, this suggests AMD has reached that requirement. Maybe AMD can deliver more of the top speed than Intel. We will see.

Re: "Elmer, they can only sell a few times a year and if you have been with AMD for several years and finally the share price took off, wouldn't you sell -- particularly if maybe you wanted a new house in the Silicon Valley?"

I would probably take the money and run. I don't blame these guys, they've been waiting a long time to cash in and you have to strike when the iron is hot. You've probably missed all the posts here when an Intel insider sold. It was considered proof that Intel was about to go under and the rats were leaving the sinking ship. I just thought I'd add a little balance. That's alright isn't it?
