Paul, It appears the i740 is going out from .35 at first. What quarter do you see them able to go to .25? << ''We don't believe the advantage is with (manufacturing) size and scale,'' said Ron Yara, S3's senior vice president of strategic marketing. ''Not in this market, where product life cycles are nine months.'' >> Is Ron smoking something? Aside from quality, I would assume size, volume (p r ice) matters just a little bit. Isn't AMD realizing that now? :-) Incidentally, thanks very much for the confidence in awhile back about the CHPS deal going through. I kept the shares and was happy I didn't panic. Cheers pigboy
