McMannic - Re: " ZD/Intel Winstone 99." Now there you go again - whining about benchmarks. Ziff Davis is a JAPANESE-OWNED company - plus a few new shareholders. Intel had nothing to do with those bench marks. And IF (hypothetically speaking) they did, it would suggest the lack of influence that AMD has in the marketplace since AMD couldn't get anybody to jigger-up some AMD-friendly benchmarks. As for my AMD investment being down by 1/3 - yes, it is but I sold covered calls on my position - so I made up for a small part of that decline. And, that investment is still profitable - still up by 35% - although that could change next week ! Paul
