Tony, no one thought AMD had a chance with sub-$1000 PCs, either. But then through small fry design wins, the big OEMs took notice and now they have a strong foothold in value desktops. They then leveraged this foothold to make headway into all of the consumer desktop market. I'm not going to underestimate AMD's potential to make headway into servers. A baby step here, a baby step there, and eventually (if they survive that long) they'll be a serious contender. But I will argue against those who think AMD can bite off more than they can chew, like jump instantly to 4-way and 8-way just because they think HyperTransport is Da Bomb. Tenchusatsu
