Jim - *off topic* - Since 1995, CPQ has outperformed INTC, but that's not the point. What if the competition had chips every bit as good? (you say the AMD engine is 'inferior', everything I read says the K6 outperforms equivalent Intel chips). I guess you would still pay more for the 'Cadillac'. I guess luxury buyers wised up some years ago and switched to Lexus and others, you have yet to catch on. I have read Paul's updates on how CPQ strayed, and that's exactly the point. Everyone seems to regard not buying Intel as a crime of the highest order. I guess you are saying CPQ and IBM are selling 'inferior chips' and that consumers should not be buying them. You certainly are entitled to your opinion.

Are you trying to compliment INTC by comparing it to Cadillac?

James,

You are too emotional on this reply. If AMD's chip and INTEL's chip are both tested with
similar tight spec, they will perform similar. I think you agree on this.
