Yousef, re:I would imagine that most/all Tier 1's have watched AMD's problems at .35um and .25um very closely. I doubt that any will "risk their entire business" on AMD supplying the high end (266mhz+) CPU's for their high margin desktops/workstations!! Even if/when AMD solves yield problems, they still wont be used in servers/workstations since these computers require additional functionality that K6/S7 doesn't provide (e.g. running 2/4/8 processors symetrically, ECC, etc.), whereas PII/Slot1/2 does provide. K6 is delegated to consumer desktop arena where they will never recoup their investment. They had a shot with K6-laptop but they seem to be missing the boat (again). Agree?? joey
