Shammymoo: It makes no sense for IBM to buy AMD. IBM is too dependent upon INTC. Want to make sure you don't get advance info from INTC? Buy AMD. Besides, from AMD, they are already getting low cost chips and a big bargaining chip wrt INTC. However it makes a lot of sense for Motorola to buy AMD. MOTO made one of the biggest blunders in business history when they refused IBM use of their 68000 CPU for something called a PC. With AMD, MOTO would gain entry. MOTO sells a small amount Intel based embedded products, so they would not care about pissing off Intel. They could put some of their underused fab capacity to make high value CPUs. There would also be some interesting design synergies possible w/ the PowerPC and K6. In addition AMDs other products would complement MOTOs: Flash w/ cell phones, comm chips w/ wireless. With the addition of a video graphics company, a MOTO-AMD combo would have all pieces for a new class of all-in-one wireless-networked-multimedia PC on a chip. Ahh wishful thinking. But when I rule the world ...

ShammyMoo oh Whacky Poo - Re: " Once again I get a call from my "hush-hush" friend at AMD telling me that there is DEFINATELY a takeover in the works, who the groom is, he won't say or doesn't know, but my bet is on IBM, I have even heard a buyout price of $60 a share but that seems a little high," Has your "hush hush" AMD friend given you some more "mush mush" on the AMD BUY OUT by IBM or Rotomola? Inquiring minds want to know (Trademark of the late greg nus). Let us know, WhackyPoo, WhackyPoo. Paul
