Dr. Saeed, Re: "Dr. Yousef had a valid argument of in-house technology vs relying on the others..." Please be aware Dr. Saeed ... If you agree with me on anything, you will get a lot of criticism. Just the nature of this thread. Make It So, Yousef

Re: "Dr. Yousef had a valid argument of in-house technology vs relying on the others.." It is his OPINION that in-house development is better than collaboration with other companies. The problem is, Yousef stated his OPINION as a FACT. As a (self proclaimed) engineer, Yousef ought to know better than to start treating unproven (and unprovable) propositions as fact. He should know better. Kevin

As a Developer/Scientist I agree with. As a mercenary investor I have seen that acquisition, when it works, can work extremely well. All paths have risks, but where would AMD be today if they had not purchased Nextgen? I am certain what they got in acquisition, but the K6 is a remarkably better product than the K5. It also appears that while all the data is not in yet that the K7 may be the most best AMD work yet. I do know what they got from Nextgen, whether it was good luck, good people, or good technology but whatever it was I am glad that it worked out for the K6 and the concept of the K7. As a developer you want to get your ideas out, and as an investor you want to get the stock price up.
