VIA's new chip does not sound that impressive. True, but lack of Timna, dearth of Celerons, disappearance of K6-2 created a fantastic opening for Via. Is there anybody out there that still doubts that Via is getting some help from above? <g> Joe, Is VIA so lucky? I figure they are planning to sell to emachines but with emachines having inventory problems, I am not sure that this will work for VIA. I am afraid that I still hear conflicting messages...Intel shortages and a pc glut...maybe not a glut but sales are not growing any faster than normal. Meanwhile Dresden is ramping up and VIA is getting ready to enter the market. I am worried that Intel's problems are more than capacity constraint, that chip shortages may be a thing of the past, and we are in for a big surprise. ted
