Looking at this months issue of Computer Shopper, there are a lot of, and I mean a lot of Athlon 1 GHz machines. GTW and Compaq are among the many advertising their 1 GH'z Athlon's. Compaq even takes a full page add, claiming they have "the best Athlon 1 GHz" system. I wonder how many of these 1 GHz machine AMD is/will sell this quarter. My guess is about 200K, at ASP of $600 each that is a cool $120 million. That is equivilant to 2.3 million K6's...LOL There are also some Duron CPU and systems advertised. Mani

RE:"Speaking of off topic... MSFT will have its case heard in the court of appeal, this should be good news for techs tomorrow. Nasdaq futures just jumped. The appeals court is going to smack Joel "I don't know what a DLL is" Klein around. The point of anti-trust law is to protect the consumer, not competitors. Was Microsoft's aggressive action good or bad for consumers? Well, has anyone on this thread every paid for a web browser before? Microsoft's distribution of IE doesn't stop anyone from using Netscape if they want to. Joel doesn't understand the nature of competition in the software industry: It's not that a company is afraid that a competitor will make a competing product, rather its the fear of an entirely new market that will make your's obsolete. This possibility is an ever present reality in high-tech" Nothing is off topic as long as it effects the price of AMD stock. There are a lot more things that L2 cache than roadmaps and L2 cache. At this time...AG and the economy seem to be affecting AMDs stock as much as anything not to mention lawyer intrustion to some extent.

Quite an informed legal opinion there. The trouble with Microsoft is, nobody outside the company really knows what's in which of the 200-odd dll's that that constitute what used to be known as Internet Explorer. I think it's against the EULA to even try to find out. They don't call it dll hell for nothing. So, the 'softies thought it was brilliant legal strategy to say "what do you want us to delete". Just one of many brilliant legal strategies on Bill's part, of course. Cheers, Dan.
