Ted, <Harry reminded me that AMD doesn't book a chip sale until the OEM has sold the chip in a PC. > It doesn't work that way. <Clearly, you think I am missing something.> Like I said, you were right the first time. When AMD sells to Compaq, AMD registers that sale. If AMD sells to one of the distributors, then AMD does not record the sale until it is "sold through". (It is actually a bit more complicated than that but close enough for this discussion). Chuck
