Paul, all, I wonder if the X-Box will be able to keep up with PlayStation2 regarding:

Much of the excitement about the PlayStation 2 stems from its technological advances, including a DVD movie player and computer-generated game imagery that's distinguished by its artistry and realism.

Paul,

RE:"As for IBM and AMD, something hit the skids there late last year - my guess is that when IBM decided to "go direct" and not use retail, they found that AMD's manufacturing system didn't fit their needs - and that their major customer focus was CORPORATE - and CORPORATE purchases still prefer INTEL by a long shot."

This makes good sense...
BtW, I'm not impressed by IBM Canada selling k7s...
Remember when IBM sold Cyrix in Canada? It appears to be their test market...
