Maxwell, Re:So go home. Screw the analysts. Sell your stock. Buy DELL. These analysts won't let you collect your profit. Nice summary. From one investor to another, what the analysts did to AMD sucked! ML controls trillions of dollars and they know how to use it. The shysters on the Street don't always play fair. That is for sure. I suspect Kurlak will try a similar tactic with INTC. But if AMD becomes profitable in the 4th Qtr, even the shysters won't be able to stop AMD from going up. I am counting on strong gains from INTC that even the analysts can't deny. Dale

Maxwell , one very significant point on that BW article . What AMD's market share suggests is that consumers are buying PCs based on price , not brand of microprocessor . Corporate buyers , analysts say , may follow suit . That last comment ties in with my occupation . I am helping companies migrate over to Windows NT based client server networks . While my recommendation for a file server is at the moment a PII based IBM netfinity 5500 , the choice for new client PCs is HP 5330 and 5350 models complete with K6-2s . I see a major trend developing amongst businesses that want to upgrade their hardware for 2 reasons :- To overcome Y2K problems on their older PCs (over 2yrs old) and at the same time upgrade to equipment that has the large HDs ,faster CDroms , greater amounts of RAM plus the 6th gen CPUs . The attractive prices of the AMD systems will bring in a lot of corporate buyers who seek to hold costs down which should be the case due to the current financial uncertainty in many countries . Brian
