Kevin,

Re: "Clearly the 6000+ wafers/week represents Fab capacity (as in clean
room space) but Fab 25's capacity isn't utilized because AMD doesn't have
the place filled with equipment yet."

So do you really believe that about 2/3 of AMD's clean room is sitting
idle, Kevin ?? ... Do you know how long it takes to bring new equipment
on line for .25um production ?? AMD would be STUPID to not have fully
outfit their Fab for .25um. Let me tell you a "double" secret, Kevin ... You
don't make money on a partially outfitted Fab. If this is the case ... Then
Jerry needs to get his "brain" replaced with a K6-2 ... or ... Maybe
he had this done a year ago. <ggg>

Make It So,
Yousef
