Yousef, Re -- that AMD will be testing the high teens after the K6-3DNOW HYPE is over. There is no 3DNOW hype. AMD chose to call their chip K6-2 for a reason, No current applications support their new instruction set. Given the larger size of the K6-2, AMD's cost of producing it will be much more than the K6, and given the extra cost of the 100Mhz board will have to be sold for even less. Translation. Even more Losses!!! DirectX 6.0 will be available late this year, (beta maybe in july). AMD has 483 million more available to it. Waiting to see the expression of the SUCKERS who bought AMD bonds, when it goes KAPUT. Stockman
