Kash,

OK, you are right. If AMD could get that fab for real cheap, it would not necessarily be bad.

I am not sure that AMD can afford upgrading/building two fabs at once since they are already losing large amount of money. I am also not sure that demand is there for big increase in production. Again, growth must be managed to be "good".

Mani

<Kash - re: I think AMD certainly could use another wafer fab that could build 0.18 micron.>

The last thing AMD needs is a third different 0.18 process.
