Yes, there is no doubt that you can make a lot of money with AMD. AMD is not an fundamental investor's stock but a trader's. And to be a trader, you need to have great timing. That means being a professional. I was sitting on a $140K profit (in less than 4 months) until Jerry showed his gross incompetence. That only left me with less than half of that, still good but it hurts. From the street, every thing looked very good in Q4. I should have trusted my gut feeling (Jerry's gross incompetence) than my senses. Time Traveler

Sharptooth coming early? Spotted by JC, a Taiwanese news site says: 99/01/20, 8:50am - Here's the first somewhat reliable K6-3 release info, I say this because it's from a Taiwanese news site ;). Take a gander here, where it is said: "AMD will release Sharptooth on Feb 14 in order to beat Katmai to the market". Hmmm, just a rumination ... If Sharptooth comes out on the 99/02/14, then what's up on the 24th? (an AMD representative has earlier stated that something will happen on that date) chiptech.com Petz
