Tony, You shouldn't put Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles down like that. They are both professionals, musical geniuses - even they can see that AMD needs help.<ggg> From what I understand, AMD just grabs a bunch of components and throws them in the air. Where they land provides the configuration for the initial prototype. A year or so down the line they will do it the right way if they can hire a few smart guys away from INTEL, hope they don't plan on using stock options as an incentive. I still get a chuckle out of this post from a few days ago. "In January the K6 yield problem was resolved after some excellent failure analysis work which resulted in isolating the exact problem causing low yields for K6's in Fab 25" Every place I have been, they always do failure analysis first to prevent problems. So I guess AMD just kind of swags it and tries to pick up the pieces later. Why should the K7 be any different?
