Jim,

There is something really fishy about NSM "getting out of the CPU business". So MediaGxs and PCOACs don't count as cpus? Looks like a smoke screen to me.

The stock is up 100% since they started the rumors however. ;^))

Jim,

Re: "There is something really fishy about NSM "getting out of the CPU business"

Jim, It's not "that fishy" ... NSM just doesn't have the resources to
develop the needed leading edge process technology to STAY IN the CPU
business. If NSM wants to "outsource" their IC manufacturing of POAC's
then the performance will drop and NSM will NOT be able to go up against
Intel or even AMD for that matter. BTW Jim, AMD is also "outsourcing"
their process development with Motorolo because they can't afford it
either.

Make It So,
Yousef

Jim, I think what NSM announced is legitimate.
