Thanks for your post. I am well aware of O'Neill's book and teachings, and have practiced them occasionally. Most momentum fund managers, I understand, are followers of O'Neill, thus it's not hard to draw conclusions on how well it works. Ibexx

Thread, This is from the wall street journal. Still talks about katmai in early 1999. May 29, 1998 Intel Announces a Delay In Chip-Production Schedule An INTERACTIVE JOURNAL News Roundup Intel Corp. announced a delay Friday in the production schedule of its eagerly-awaited Merced chip. The Santa Clara, Calif., chipmaker said it now expects sample volumes of the 64-bit Merced processor in 1999, with planned production volumes moving to mid-2000 from 1999. Production had been expected in the second half of 1999. Company Profile: Intel The announcement was made after the close of trading Friday. Intel shares fell in aftermarket trading, retreating to $70.50 from their close of $71.4375 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Intel said the Merced processor program "has made considerable progress to date," including completion of the fundamental microarchitecture design and completion of functional model and initial physical layout. The chip is being designed by Intel in conjunction with Hewlett-Packard Co. It will process data in 64-bit chunks instead of 32-bit chunks, as today's Intel and Intel-clone microprocessors do. Processing in 64-bit strings will make computers faster, and corporate buyers know they will be able to integrate the machines with their current banks of Intel computers. The delay could be a boost to Intel competitors such as Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD recently announced its K6-2 microprocessor, a higher-performance, graphically-endowed chips that's competitive speedwise with Intel's Pentium IIs. Intel won't have similarly 3D-enhanced technology in its chips until its release of Katmai Pentium IIs in early 1999. Analysts had warned that AMD would have a hard time convincing corporate buyers to put K6-2 machines in business settings, given Intel's planned Merced introduction next year.
