Tony, I agree. I think 2H98 we will start to see some SERIOUS GROWTH ACCELERATION with Intel, for many reasons: PII will be the major product for BOTH consumer/business dektops and servers, introduction of PII laptops, move to .25m in full swing, year-to-year comparisons will be easier, etc. Since the Market usually looks out 6 months when evaluating a stock, I think Intel is set up to move again in Dec./Jan. timeframe. joey

Tony, I don't agree with Paul that all three are dead money for six months. From this point forward, Intel, NSM but probably not AMD, will be good investments. Look for a good rally by January at the latest. Jim

Tony - Re: " Do you think the Intel price cuts are overdone? I do, considering the competition" No, for two reasons. 1. Intel needs to position the Pentium II as an affordable high performance CPU, so driving prices down on that chip is imperative. Intel needs to keep the momentum going on transitioning the market to Pentium II/Slot 1 and they can't very well due this with $600 CPU costs. 2. Aggressive price cuts on the Pentium MMX as well as the Pentium II means that AMD and Cyrix MUST sell their K6 and 6x86MX chips for less money as well. This is a preemptive strike against these companies. By crippling them in their ability to generate significant profits (if any at all), Intel is insuring that these companies have reduced resources to continue on the design/development treadmill. By allowing these companies to hang around and develop competitive technologies - and they have the same access (nearly) to the same resorces as Intel - Intel will lose whatever advantages it has. And access to profits is what Intel can deny to these companies by heavy duty price cutting. Denying them profits will, over time, reduce their ability to compete by virtue of limited R & D investment and capital (facility) expansion. Paul
