Greg - Re: " It must realy eark you that another totaly loyal Intel customer has choosen to buy from AMD.Compaq " Compaq? Totally Intel Loyal? Have you been in hiding for the past 11 months? Compaq has been selling their Presario 2100/2200 line based on Cyrix's MediaGX processor since February! Compaq has also been a large AMD customer in the past - 386/486, Interwave chips, etc. Paul

<Elmer, Did the bamboo I slipped under your fingernail hit a nerve? AMD fixed the yield problems otherwise Compaq would not have bought the AMD K^-6 @233 for the Presario line.> Who has fingernails? I've chewed them to the bone worring about how Intel will survive the coming price cuts. All Intel has is $Billions in the bank, AMD has all that debt going for them. How can Intel possibly compete? All they do is keep making money while AMD has the right approach. Red ink. That's the ticket. Go into bankruptcy and court protection. Then AMD can lose money with inpunity. All Intel can do is keep posting profits. That Jerry Sanders is one brilliant guy. <Meanwhile the company you said does not posess the proper process technology Already demoed at comdex last month the AMD K-6 +3d .25u cmos. > One demo doth not a product make. Why not just hold your breath until AMD posts a profit? You believe demo's and I'll believe bottom lines. EP
