<For future reference, the truly pain-free don't need to imply anything about their status. >They do when confronted with a group of people who take some sort of pleasure in making like they are some how better than the rest because they own intel and come to the the AMD thread just to make themselves feel superior,and are mean-spirited in there manner. And my eggs are hardly in one basket.My baskets are BEL,JPM,T,USW, PPL,GTE,JNJ,COMS,TRKN,CNTR,AMAT,AMD,MRK and TY of which only a few are my picks as I am just recently investing some by myself in order to learn about investing. I spoke out as did because sometimes one must be an ass when among asses.Maxfield G.

re: "I suppose Dell and Micron casually test products AFTER they buy them, and only once?" Actually and ironically your statement is half correct. DELL is run by a very screwd businessman who sells whatever iNTEL sells him. Testing at Dell is very limited and usually involves only those vanilla items that they add on their very limited initiative. Performance of their systems is generally ok but almost always very vanilla. Dell's forte is marketing and never performance or real value (unless iNTEL lets them pass some token real value on). Micron is another story. Micron will probably announce soon, however. DARBES
