Paul, Re: "Is there anything you would do differently? I would have liked to have not competed with Intel. That leaves me an awful lot of alternatives. I don’t like the thought that at 65, at least half of my life is gone. Not too many people live to be 130. So when I look back, I think, “God, how did I wind up in this hand to hand with Intel?” And it’s because, basically, they offend my sense of fair play. Intel tries to shove down an [engineer’s] throat a RAM bus solution that they don’t want. Slot A, nobody wanted, and AMD said, “You don’t need that. We’ll put a flip chip in a package.” That’s the K6. And [Intel] had to change. They didn’t change on their own; they changed because competition made them change. So I’m proud of that." Sanders, just like the AMDroids, tends to make mountains out of molehills based on facts that aren't correct in the first place. Interestingly enough, on the processor timeline, Sanders puts Slot-A first, and K6 second. Damn - the man doesn't even know his own processor lines, and yet he uses this as a reason to bash Intel! What a stinking hypocrite. wbmw

Paul, From that article, quote from Mr. Sanders: "If we have a competitive offering, we’ll be able to undersell Intel. We’ll be the lowest-cost provider, and we can beat them." That seems to imply that they are not currently the low cost producer. Another 'Droid myth to the dumpster. John
