albert,<<<So what kind of market share was exactly gained by intel?>>> Intel has about 80% of the market - give or take a few points. In any other universe, except here, AMD is not competition. Avis, Pepsi, Ford, Saks, perenial #2's all had bigger market share. Only here on this thread, where I admit posters are terrific in calculus, posters come up with these terrific deltas over very ingenius time frames, prove #2 is really #1 or soon to be #1, based on these magnificently creative delta's they conjure - or make up. It's like a 5 game winning pitcher in the major leagues competing against a 25 game winner - but over a selected one week time frames this 5 game winner wins a game and the 25 game winner losses a game and think he is going into the hall of fame. It's like when when you walk the marathon distance, and run the last 100 yards, you come up with this tremendous delta showing how you could've, should've won the race. AMD after competing for 30 years has 20% of the volume, 20% of the revenue, and much less in terms of anything else that is important, has practically zero chance of catching up, never made any money for the majority of shareholders, except Jerry and some of the other insiders, and with very little chance for anybody else to make any money in the future. If you have any suggestions on how we can make money investing in AMD's future, I'm listening. I am not opposed to making money (legally). But, so far, by any definition, AMD has been a poor investment for most investors. Give me some solid reasons to invest in AMD without any of those deceptive rates of change type stuff - I'm listening. Mary
