Jim, IBM gets away with it for two reasons.. One IBM is BIG and two IBM makes PC's too, so people always do it looking for an "in" with IBM. Personally I think this is a bad sign for AMD.. I maybe wrong and for all the AMD investors I hope I am, but I haven't put a dime into AMD for a while and don't intend to after hearing this (at least for a while).. The scarey thing is the agreement doesn't start till Q3 (wafer starts in Q3) which means the product probably won't be ready until Q4 (giving time for pilot runs etc.) Steve Cyrix/NSM Rule!
