Rob, Thanks, I'll try to get that book. Recently read "Intel Inside". Believe AMD survived before by second sourcing, but not anymore. I think you have a valid point. But I wonder about the large difference between CPQ that seems to use AMD this way, and DELL that sticks with Intel, as does Gateway. Is it only CPQ and DOJ <g> paying AMD to stay in the game to keep prices low??? Do Dell and Gateway benefit but not pay? A friend at work just bought a little palm held computer for only $99. Believe it has a 40mhz processor from some off the wall company. I agree there will be work for other processor companies, but I doubt anyone made much money selling that little thing for $99. Tell us about the book and how you feel it enters into this situation with AMD and Cyrix. thanks, Lee
