Steve <I've heard AMD may market the Thunderbird as "Athlon Professional" which I think is a good idea> YES! YES! YES! But market it, damnit! And do a better job than you did with the Athlon. Your point reminds me of what Phillips has done over the last year or so. They had an image problem so they tackled it by launching a GREAT campaign with ONLY a $30,000 flat screen - to sell their $500 products. It worked very well there and will probably work well with AMD. But I'd really LOVE to see a full on campaign. Maybe this is what AMD has been waiting for. All apart of a couple year plan. I'm going to have to call their marketing department. Dave
