Bob, Re: "I'd be interested in hearing which tools are good for nothing in a move from 0.35 to 0.25." Well Bob if you can provide a current list of AMD's .35um equipment, I would be happy to give you a detailed list of which equipment would need to be replaced. As a "reasonable" guess, I would say most likely that good candidates would be contact etch, poly/trench etch, dielectric deposition, steppers --> scanners, Ti seed layer deposition, ... AMD could have easily spent $100M+ to "re-tool" the MegaFlop25 (tm PREngel). Make It So, Yousef
