Scumbria, Speaking of Compaq (even if you weren't) what do you think of them and their decisions over time (annoy the sh*t out of the best semiconductor company in the world with their AMD and Alpha BS) in the light of their stinkbomb last Friday. What I think is that their top management suffers from egomania and is out of touch with reality wrt their best (only) all around source of CPU chips. Tony

<In Korea they don't buy AMD Kmart chip at all.> Actually, I'm sure Korea would buy some AMD chips, if AMD ever decided that Korea was a market worth pursuing. This is a market where they consider the Intel i740 an excellent graphics accelerator because of its quality and very low cost. Last time I went to Korea was last September, and I didn't see any AMD stuff there. I didn't look too hard, though. <I hear that they are ramping up for big time Alpha production.> So? What does that have to do with AMD's presence in Korea? Tenchusatsu
