Ali, Re: the succees or failure of AMD/NSM/IDT becomes less dependent from Intel wrong play Exactly. They failed because of their own problems. And expecting Intel's wrong play to bail them out is almost impossible because Intel so far hasn't made any wrong move, sorry. Gary

Ali, >>>The monster Merced could be the coffin for Intel dominance. <<< How big is that market where COBOL programs are still running? What are they going to replace those systems with? >>>The forefront has shifted into distributed computing, to system-on-chip, sub-priced home PC.<<< How big are these markets right now? Regardless, Microsoft has shown us what money could do. Let the little guy find the market and then go in and take those markets away from them. That is what having lots of cash can do for you. No matter how you rationalize and deceive yourself on this point, you must at some point recognize the importance of having lots of money. >>>Even if the count is still growing, the system performance has saturated and cannot be a selling point anymore.<<< You do know that this is a silly statement. If I made a statement as weak as this, you would be ranting and raving about the weak intellectual capabilities of those that disagree with you. Do you really believe that applications will not need more powerful systems in the near and distant future? Tell me when we will not be needing more powerful systems? That is like the Emperor of China in the 15th Century telling his people they have all the science and technology they need and stop wasting time on newer science and technology. You can hide from this silly statement - but you can never run away from it<GGG>. >>>As a huge monopolistic and non-responsive mechanizm, Intel continues to move by inertia. <<< If that is the case, please tell the government to leave Intel alone.
