Who's the expert on AMD? As busy as my schedule is, I don't have the time to research as I'd like but, I know AMD is a competitor and the stock price is at it's low. Any chance of seeing the 50's again? Could the merger with compaq and digital bring AMD stock price up this year?

Jim, Don't you have anything better to do than take a particular post and post it on different threads? Of course not. You've been taught those splits by the SF folks, haven't you, you sly dog you. Do you also sing the soprano these days? Stockman

Jim, Do you mena that the fab is up to full production of wafers per week, but the number of candidates that survive is still low? 6000 bad wafers a week means zip if they are all bad. What is their yield speedbinwise? As Petz says at 6000/week x 70% x 350 x 365 that is a roomfull. I expect that 70% will have a speed bin scatter, how does that run?? It will certainly validate AMD if and when that March announcement is made. We might only now get a feel for why Intel has been dropping prices. They might have had some 'Intel' that shook them up a bit. Bill
