RE: "...plans to increase capital spending by 80 percent this year...boost overall capacity by 15 percent..."

15% is less than the increase in revenues forecast for semis for 2004 and similar IC revenue increases are expected for a number of years. The numbers seem measured and unlikely to lead to overcapacity or an abbreviated up cycle.
