To: happy_henry who wrote (3778 ) 8/6/2000 1:08:21 PM From: crazyoldman Respond to Hello happy_henry,Quite simply, based on what I'm seeing, I'm going to go out on a limb and call a bottom for AMD here at 60. It's just too hard to see this company which has a projected one billion in earnings just this year to be valued at under 10 billion for much longer (currently 9.6 billion). Also I believe AMD dual processor systems will be showing up sooner than some think (quite possibly even by sometime next month). And with the continuing industry adoption of DDR as the next standard, I believe we will see the first AMD DDR 200/266 chipsets released very soon (likely within the next six weeks in time to see dual Athlon CPU/ DDR 266 machines by October). Also as time goes on there seems to be only more evidence revealed that Willamette and Itanium are not going to be seen for quite a bit longer than a lot of people think, so Intel is resorting to another PIII die shrink and other intersting tactics (I'll avoid the use of the word, "tricks") to yet again extend the life of their existing old Pentium Pro architecture of six (?) years ago, all of which suggests that Intel is genuinely afraid they are going to have problems competing with AMD in the coming months/years. My homemade classic Athlon 750 personal/server Linux box has been running non-stop since last year now, without fail (or over 5000 CPU hours). I like it. VERY GOOD .
