Paul Says...

What happened to Raza's PROMISE of a second
IMMINENT endorsement?


Could it be?, AMD is sold out, they can't deliver the chips to another 1st tier.

Short term memory lapse? NEC sells AMD based notebooks.

Paul,

Seems like AMD is stuck at 1 - their in-the-pocket-buddy Pfeiffer at Compaq.

If AMD and Compaq are as tight as you suggest, that would bode extremely well for the future of AMD. I hope you are correct.

NEC K6-300 notebook is selling at CompUSA for $1999. IBM will introduce the K6 based Thinkpad very soon. Gateway will then ship the desktop and K6 notebooks. The only companies left not using AMD are Dell and Micron.

Paul,
Along with Compaq an obscure little boxmaker named Proteva is offering
K6-2-400s...Before you laugh, you'll want to know this is the HSN...
You'd be shocked to know how many they move...
Would you be shocked if IBM skipped the 400 and went right to the 450?
