I wonder what category are Spitfires in. If they are in Athlon category, then it's not so great. I think AMD should move away from K6 to Athlon ASAP. But AMD still plans to sell 12 million K6s this year. K6 is the chip that never really made any money for AMD (just helped it survive). Joe, I think you may be a little pessimistic here. I would not be surprised if AMD now is making $ on the K6's. Further the K6 helps keep AMD actively in the low end which I think is important in its competition with Intel. And I agree with Sanders; to go from 800 k chips to 12 mil in one year is very good. With the kind of nos he is throwing out there, AMD should be very profitable for the rest of the year. ted
