Chipguy, I think you were exactly right when you previously said that AMD's purchase of ATI was done at a time that would best hide the troubles coming ahead. The first headline that came up on Yahoo says, "AMD income down on merger costs". Never mind the real story:

                             ------------------------------------------ 
                                                      Q4-06 vs Q4-06 vs
