AMD does have reliable products. Actually they have had reliable products for awile but less reliable support for thier chips. Now that situation has improved but it often takes years before your reputation changes. Tim

Eric, Re: "What's simple is Sun customers don't play space invaders." LOL. Of course they do. They just put other things in front of Space Invader abilities. And that's exactly why, IMO, the MP has ~ 30% chance of grabbing at least 10% of the over all CheapServerMarket by the end of 2002. Re: <If AMD had reliable products they would have put something better than the K6-2 in their current line of Cobalt servers instead of P3's. > AMD lived in the communications market place for years -- where if flames were only coming out of one side of the box, and the sprinklers hadn't shorted out the reserve power, there really wasn't any valid reason the call shouldn't go thru. LOL. K6 has 66%+ of the Cobolt line. But both K6 and P-III should be embedded. Neither one is worth $0.10/chip sales fee, IMO. tgptndr But we'll see won't we.
