Greg, RE: "I have a math problem for you. How many Pasario's with the K-6 non Intel Cpu would Radio Shack order if each store inventoried 2 of each of the three Pasario's and sold an average of 2 per store per week? Is the answer 4 or 5 million??" I'm not sure what your point here is. Is it that AMD will sell a lot of chps because of the Radio Shack deal? Don't you think since 2 out of 3 or 4 machines displayed in RS that were IBM were K6 based that the Compaq deal will be a push for AMD? Besides AMD can't make enough chips to supply even their third best vendor with mobile K6s. Jim

greg - Re: "What I don't understand is how you can be so happpy backing a company that took a crap on you financialy last year?" There you go again - shooting your mouth off with the wrong data! Intel closed 1996 at 65.5 and closed 1997 at $70.25 for a 7.25% INCREASE. AMD closed 1996 at $25.75 and closed 1997 at $17.75 for a 31% LOSS. Do some work! Paul

Nuski- Re: "Not when they were bouncing off the walls and fist fighting on the floor of the chandler fab! " This must be Intel's SECRET to 80% yields and 0.25 micron smooth transitions and $1.7 BILLION/quarter profit. Perhaps you can tell us about the polite gentlemen in AMD's MEGAFART 25 that LOSE MONEY QUARTER AFTER QUARTER, embarrases their staff with publicly acknowledged POOR or NON-EXISTENT yields, and requires the SDC head in Sunnyvale to go down to AUSTIN to straighten out the continual chaos and DRAIN ON CASH! LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMMMBBBBLE! Paul
