Harvey,

Are you close enough to fab-30 to pick up your chip off the assembly line?

Munich is not exactly next door to Dresden, and I am not sure what Peter could do with an unpackaged die. <g> The packaging is done in Malaysia.

Harvey,

"Are you close enough to fab-30 to pick up your chip off the assembly line? Maybe they can make it like Mercedes where you take your new car for a spin around the track at Rastatt."

LOL!!! Oh, I surely wouldn't mind if AMD invited me to visit the Dresden fab...
