Tony, re: "Paul Engel agrees with me." Do you think that Paul's non answer relative to the subject was agreement? Do you think Paul believes low yield is synonymous with poor reliability? Do you think Paul believes that AMD's chips are unreliable? Do you think Paul believes that IBM and Compaq have lower quality standards for the low price PC market? Do you think Paul believes that Intel's highest speed chips are unreliable because the yield is lower than the slower bin-outs? (Which often happens, especially on the high end of the latest chip intros). Why don't you ask him these specific questions since these are your claims. And don't talk generalities, keep it to AMD.
