Does anyone have any idea of where the bottom of AMD might be at this time? I would like to get back in, but am unsure of where the best buy point is.

Profits, re <Dr. PAUL, Boy oh boy you've been busy. I guess with 80 posts over the past 4 days your fingers must be tired.> No, he is considering this as a happy life in safe retirement (trying to fight his apparent retardation). In addition, he perfected his XT-keyboard skills and fluently "rules his computer", so those 80+ messages should be not a problem:-)) BTW, if anyone are interested in a good summary of the recent F0-bug inside Pentium processors, visit: www-personal.umich.edu Regards, Ali

ProfitsBob, Re: "Retired professor you've got plenty of time to post annoying remarks on these threads ... " Sending out a bunch of "flames" before heading to work at AMD, eh ProfitsBob??!! The morale must be pretty low with the continuing yield problems ... BTW, do you work in Austin or in Sunnyvale ?? Make It So, Yousef

Profits - Re: " Intel is beginning a long painful decent to the $50's soon. And at that time, AMD stock will be skyrocketing to $50. " Please be specific. When will these events occur? Paul

I agree with your vision of Intel crashing to $50 and AMD soaring back to the high $30's. Intel is completely unfocused. They have the low-power mobile processors for notebooks and now for sub-notebooks, while at the same time they are pushing multi-processor servers, every conceivable form of business system, home computers and 4000 plus processor NCR mainframes. The integration of networking, high-definition real-time graphics and audio components is going to further add to the confusion. Worse yet, it looks like the native signal processing applications are booming back after being dismissed as too slow in the early Pentium class systems. On the other hand, AMD is making low-cost alternatives for nth-tier mail-order desktops and once they get the yields up there will be no stopping them. When Intel moves to .25 micron in large scale production and .18 micron 64 bit systems, that will leave the door wide open for AMD to fill the .35 micron gap.
