The only people making money around here are the analysts that keep manipulating the public's mindset. Last week there was a release about AMD not meeting estimates...Stock goes up thus proving that theory WRONG....Then after they are wrong they have to find another negative thing to say just to take our party away.....Why can't they just let us savor the moment??? With all this great news from AMD, OEMs, Commercials on TV to make the public more aware, profit sooner than later, it is evident that they are moving forward in a very aggressive fashion... I smell a block trade....They beat it down and now they will run it up again...Hang on $17 - $20 here we come again!!

Bob, That means that we will probably see 400 Mhz systems at retail around the end of November. Still enough time to sell hundreds of thousands by the end of the quarter. Wouldn't it be a surprise if the strategic alliance that AMD is going to announce is not with Compaq? I hope it isn't, since I think they will by default also have a strategic alliance with Compaq; no matter who else they are getting together with. Pravin.

Bob, I wonder why so many different clock frequencies scrunched up against each other by AMD, right up against 400 MHz? INTEL PII: 233MHz, 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz, 350MHz, 400MHz and 450MHz AMD K6-2: 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz, 350MHz, 366MHz, 380MHz and 400MHz I'd bet AMD would trade the oddball 366 and 380 MHz's, and someone's left xxx for a 450. Oddball? Yes, the overwhelming market leader sets the basic product spec's, like clock frequency. Still, AMD has come a good ways at this point in the speed race. What happened to the days when speed didn't matter that much? Tony
