Jim, Re: "Speed is not the problem you think it is." Brilliant Jim ... Does anyone believe you anymore ?? You HYPED the K6-2 400mhz and 450mhz parts as "sure things", "no problemo" ... Read this --> fnews.yahoo.com "On Jan. 13, AMD admitted manufacturing problems in the fourth quarter so severe that only 34% of the chips coming off line carried speeds above 350 MHz (the goal being as many chips as possible at 400MHz). At that time, the upside was news from CEO W.J. "Jerry" Sanders that AMD produced "a robust" 5.5 million chips in the fourth quarter. The manufacturing problems were over, Sanders said, and the yield would improve significantly this quarter. "We've got that problem behind us," Sanders said at the time. Now, AMD says it did not even produce 5 million chips in the fourth quarter. That may signal that the manufacturing problems are so severe the company is tossing chips in the garbage -- that the speeds the chips are yielding are so low nobody wants them. AMD spokesman Scott Allen will not admit this, but he won't deny it either." Can you say "Lawsuit", Jim ?? If AMD intentionally "misled" with their Q4 5.5M CPU's sold statement ... Yousef might even have to sue AMD. I was long right at announcement time. BTW Jim, Do you remember who on this thread warned about AMD manufacturing margins ?? ... Let me give you a "hint", it wasn't you !! <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
