The other question is whether this is the best to come. Are consumer and corp spending going to slow going forward for the next few quarters and put AMD back in the red? or can they steal enough market share anyway to grow profits even in that environment? ==== Corp part has little to do with AMD, Corp's don't put their employees in Hyundai's. Make no mistake about it, an AMD chip is a Hyundai. jim

We are in the information age as the 21st century is approaching. The computer is one of the best thing that human has ever invented. Our knowledge is expanding at an exponential rate and computers are helping us to keep pace with our development. As computers get CHEAPER more people and corporations will buy computers. The price to pay for a computer these days are cheap and the savings that come within a corporation powered by computers is unbelievable. Computers will continue to grow at double digit for many years to come. I envision every family will have at least a computer soon. Furthermore, every individual will have a laptop so they can connect to everyone in the world. And how is this going to happen? AMD is the solution. AMD will make billions selling low cost CPU. This was the case with CPQ and DELL. They made billions selling cheap IBM clone PCs. IBM on the other hand almost lost their PC market. Maxwell
