Sorry Brushwud, I thought there were 250 million shares +some extra option shares, thus 750/(250+x) would not equal 3. Can you also explain to me outstanding and floated shares? One of them is the number of shares currently held by investors, but I don't know which one. Paul Ma

<The other posters who suggested AMD could then split 4-1 are wrong> Thanks for the correction (as I was one of the 4:1) and more importantly the reference back to the explanation -- guess I didn't read too well and I haven't studied the 10K. AMD needs accelerating earnings to cover potentially rapid growth in diluted shares (like 1Q 152M->172M) but the potential certainly seems to be there. And I hope the employees enjoy their options as much as many of the investors on SI. PT
