EP, why do you think that the problem is with the chip itself? Do you accept the idea that the problem may be with AGP bridge or just plain software, Microsoft problem?

I don't really know. I would only be guessing anyway. All I know is that if they are 6 months away from turning on the tap for Athlon64 they really don't have a clue today if they can meet that schedule and Opteron is more complex and therefore more difficult to produce so how can it be any better off?

Tonight we hear Saddam talk about crushing the American forces. I don't mean for a second to compare AMD to Saddam, but only to point out that desperate times call for desperate rhetoric. Do you consider Saddam's situation when listening to his rhetoric? I do. AMD is not evil and their management are not despots but shouldn't you consider their desperate situation too when evaluating their rhetoric? Talk is cheap and AMD has been spending it freely. Let's see what they can deliver.
