Update from betterchips.com..................

The delay of the Holiday Season held me up with doing other things, but now I'm
back. I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that everything is what it
should be in 1998. Let me start out today by talking about what AMD has done
over the past month.

AMD has released the K6-266 chips, they did so about 4-5 weeks ago. These
chips probably won't be available for end-user use until mid-late January because
most of the large OEM's have been buying them for their machines. I know some of
you have been writing me saying that they can buy K6-266 machines in the stores,
but can't find the chips, and this is the reason.

AMD will be releasing the K6-300 3D in another 2-3 months, these chips will be a
very serious threat to the Intel P-II series because primary benchmarks place them
30% faster than the P-II equivilant.

The next few weeks will be very interesting waters for the computer industry,
stay tuned for more information on the AMD front. I will make reviews atleast
every other day.

Greg - Re: "Intle is holding a bunch of crap paper from
Packard Bell. "

This debt was a $400,000,000 conversion to a loan in Q1 1996.

When NEC invested in Packard Bell - in late 1996 - the debt was repaid.

Funny - $400,000,000 is the total amount of the AMD bonds issued - in which you purchased a few, isn't it?
