To Bruce Thompson, RE: companies you can easily see Looking through the Sunday paper today I came across this weeks Circuit City circular. Featured on the front page was an IBM K-6/2 333 system. Inside there was 1 entire page featuring AMD systems (2 K-6/2 350 systems and 3 K-6 300 portable systems). All ads had the AMD K-6 logo prominently displayed. Ads featuring Intel inside were ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, NONE. Now you really gotta love when that happens. AJ

Does anybody know how many chips they can produce at maximum capacity? What is the best scenario? I am interested in determining max earnings for 1999. Is it a dollar? 2 dollars? When does AMD get bottle necked with no more FAB capacity? Can they farm any of that out to Taiwan or is it too specialized?
