Gene,

The AMD-K60 family of desktop PC processors exceeded 50 percent of US retail sales for the first time in February 1999.

The morons who are trying to sue AMD will get a kick out that news.

Gene, Re: Sales Growth of Windows-Based PCs Falls Under 1Percent at Retail in February

That is scary. With its increasing market share, the warning
of significant loss sound very very ugly.

If it gets to 100%, will that mean it is going to lose even
more significantly ?

AMD does seem to be successfully "buying the market" successfully by getting so much at the low end. Too bad that they are probably losing money "HAND OVER WALLET" in order to succeed. However, I would be careful to not underestimate the value of the installed base of "3D NOW" ready machines that AMD is achieving. It may become an almost insurmountable obstacle for iNTEL to overcome.

Regards,

DARBES
