Ted, Wasn't AMD at 16+% of the market in Feb and March? This article says AMD has 1/3 of the market in April but that # is a decline. The article covers US Retail sales only. This happens to be only a small percentage of the overall market. Probably a lot less than 20% of total processor sales. The 16% number is the AMD's percentage of total processor unit sales. Joe

Ted, Re: These numbers don't make sense. Wasn't AMD at 16+% of the market in Feb and March? This article says AMD has 1/3 of the market in April but that # is a decline. The numbers I have collected (from web sources) for AMD retail market share are as follows: Jan-99 43.9% Jan-00 37% Feb-99 51.6% Feb-00 42% Mar-99 45.3% [Hm. Interesting SI proofing thinks XXX-00 dates may be an error but the XXX-99 ones are ok? I just wish they would add Athlon and other common technical terms to the spelling list as many posts look like a cherry tree when previewed.] A little spotty but I haven't been collecting for that long and forgot to keep track of sources on other data so haven't included it. I believe this is a hard market to track, the SD shops are probably not included, and the media reporting is often warped as witnessed by conflicting presentation of the actual reports (which are $$$ and I haven't found an inside source yet). The "decline" is certainly in contrast to the observation of what is on the shelf by many posters. PT
