Kash Thanks for the welcome. As for the immediate future, we are kind of in a "no news" period, kind of like lap 150 of 200 of the Indy 500. The proof of the pudding will make itself evident in the latter part of the year. All we can do now is speculate. But speculating is kind of fun. PB

Kash, Re: "I do tend to agree with you regarding Fab 30 and Cu risk. Clearly Jerry has bet the farm ..." And the really "funny" thing is that Jerry is gaining that much by using Copper. Intel's .18um FET's will provide more performance (speed/Mhz) than AMD's .18um process with Copper. Sad thing is the risk isn't necessary if you understand FET/device architecture and processing. BTW, the main risk is not "contamination" due to Copper ... This can be easily controlled. Make It So, Yousef
