Paul,
RE:"Switching to AMD has been key to the financial success of Compaq,
AMD and HP - hasn't it !"

How exactly did AMD switch to AMD????

Why would HP switch to AMD if their Celeron unit was the no. one sellg PC in June? Hummm...3DNOW maybe?

Compaq was just switching to AMD when they got caught with a bunch of DEAD inventory based on INTEL chips. Last I heard they posted a profit this past quarter...

Face it, it's all headed sub $1000, sub $500 next. This can't be stopped.

Jim
