Tony - They already spend far and away more than any other company, possible exception IBM Not according to Eckhard Pfeiffer, who claims that the combined CPQ /DEC /Tandem spent $1.8B, more than Intel on R&D in 1997. Don't know if this is true, but it does put Intel's R&D in perspective.

< presented a plan to help the chip maker shake off several years of flat growth.> The more I think about it, the more I think DVD will be the killer app Intel needs. I have one and love it. But my DVD ROM comes with a card that takes over control of a window on the screen, and the image is presented there via the card's hardware. So, for example, I cannot do a screen capture or printscreen. What we really need is for the mpeg decoding to be done right in the CPU, which would require vastly more power than my 200 MHz can currently provide.
