Jim - Re: "who was buying her when she did that big fall,
"the little Taiwanese back door box shops had a sort of bicycle
trail to various brokers" They didn't use the intel inside, to sell boxes. They used AMDs & cut prices "

You are either hallucinating or re-writing history.

When AMD was selling at $12 - $18 in 1996, NOBODY WAS BUYING anything from AMD. They WEREN"T EVEN PRODUCING K6's except small samples!

The AMD K5 was a disaster - SLOW and LOW VOLUMES in 1996.

The K6 didn't ship until April 2, 1997.
