Re: "For the sake of you and I, and all the Intel investors that have taken a stake in AMD, let's hope they can come out with a competitive product sometime soon" I expect AMD will continue to do fairly well. In fact I bought more lately. As we all keep reassuring ourselves, this is for the long haul. I think it will soon be apparent that the rumors of slowing demand were totally off base. EP

RE:"AMD is essentially falling off the radar screen in notebooks Elmer, This sure is true. For the sake of you and I, and all the Intel investors that have taken a stake in AMD, let's hope they can come out with a competitive product sometime soon" I still see a lot of K6-2s out there at retail. Problem is that they don't demand top dollar like the higher speed Intel chips (yes-Mhz sells). I'm hearing that AMD will basically "really slow down" production of K6-2 wafers the third week of October. I don't know if this includes wafers for notebook K6-2s... It's about time for some notebook Athlons cores, lower power consumption is a primary ajustment in the upcoming Athlon cores so we shall see. Jim

Chic, <For the sake of you and I, and all the Intel investors that have taken a stake in AMD, let's hope they can come out with a competitive product sometime soon.> AMD has their PowerNow! technology that should be featured in their mobile Athlon (whatever it was called). This technology looks to be almost as sophisticated as Transmeta's advanced power management. Now it remains to be seen how well AMD does in reducing the power requirements from desktop to mobile Athlon. Otherwise, PowerNow! will become more of a necessity than an advantage. Tenchusatsu
