Paul, Re: "Once Dresden comes "on line" - which may not be until Q199 or Q299, then the real expenses will begin ..." Paul, when is Dresden supposed to be "on line" for production ?? I would argue that even using a "copy exactly" (from Mot, IBM, etc ...), equipment will start to be depreciated about 6 months before production. Expenses will mount rapidly as AMD runs non-production silicon to qualify Dresden ... this material will be headed for the "circular" inventory. Make It So, Yousef
