Big AL, RE: "1)amd started negotiations few months back when they were just about to start conversion to .25 at fab 25. So it is reasonable to assume that IBM deal is in no way related to current yields. " I guess that's possible...and even though AMD is supposedly getting better yields now they decided to go through with the deal with IBM either to honor what they had already started and/or as a security blanket vis a vis supply and getting the K6 on the newest technology... If that's the case it isn't nearly as bad for AMD...more nuetral but a plus still for IBM....as usual... Jim
