Dale, MOT's only target with AMD _IS_ the x86. I tried to post a message along the following lines to you on the cyrix thread, but SI was freaking out at the time (official technical term <G>) "MOT hates INTC even more than AMD.. if you think INTC would get off light with MOT owing AMD, you are dreaming. MOT got beaten by Intel when IBM went the 8086 instead of the techincally better (and LATER) 68000. MOT wants blood in a way that no-one who doesn't know someone who works there or works there themselves could ever understand. It's almost part of the culture". I think that post sums it up most. MOT had bad luck once, tried again and now they look posied to do it yet again. Of course after last Qtr earnings, it became clear that the other parts of AMD is also in deep du du. MPUs probably broke even last Q. Everything else was toast! Steve
