Frank,

I take the threat of Willy quite seriously. If AMD does not have a processor with competitive MHz, I believe that they will have to make a rapid exit from the CPU business. The happy times that AMD is experiencing now are due almost entirely to holding a MHz advantage over Intel.

Frank Re: One problem for a new comer is that a lot of your posts on these subjects have been sarcastic and do not mean what they say. Such as your repeated "AMD will go out of business when Willamette comes out" posts. Those of us who have been here for a while know you don't mean it, but new comers like Paul and Chic, may take you seriously to their detriment.

Frank,
This is not the case for me, I clearly catch the sarcasm as Scumbria and others taunt the INTC lovers.

Frank,

But some of Scumbria's posts sure are funny...besides do you think someone who sells their shares based on one poster's comments should be in the markets in the first place?
