Your 'if's aren't getting any smaller. AMD has yet to show that it can get to any positive earnings. I think given the choice of a piece of a company that makes $71B profit and a company that loses any amount, I'll choose the former. Especially given AMD's history. I do however hope that AMD does well in the future. As a consumer and being employed in the software industry, choice and change is good. I just am not interested in betting any of my $ on such a long shot as AMD. Tom

<That is exactly the point. It is much easier for AMD to grow their earnings percentage than for Intel. If K7 is successful, AMD's earnings will go from negative to a large positive number. This makes the stock attractive.> Scumbria, your own statements contradict each other. You first say that a $50 CPU is just as good as a $500 CPU for 90% of the public's computing needs. Then you say that the K7 will be successful, even though that CPU will likely cost $500 for quite a while. You can't have it both ways, you know. So what are you banking on? Tenchusatsu
