re: You know the Japanese business model don't you? Market share now and profits later. Jim, that business model assumes reasonably stable macro conditions. It doesn't work given the dynmanic change in both technology and products present in the MPU industry. What happens, for example, when KMI becomes the standard, or no one supports S7 OR Slot 1, etc??? These same OEMs who used AMD because of price will drop AMD like a heartbeat...and what will AMD have to show for the 2 years of K6 products...LOSSES! I think you were brainwashed by Sander's mantra of taking share from Intel at all cost. Wrong business model! joey
