We expect seasonally normal PC demand and a richer product mix to drive a positive first quarter earnings surprise. PC demand should accelerate in the second half of 2000, (driven by) a strong economy, Windows 2000 and a sharp increase in microprocessor price performance.

Strong global demand for semiconductors is driving our customers to increase and accelerate their year 2000 capital spending for expanded capacity and more advanced technologies, ...

OEM revenue was light as demand for business PCs remained slow in the quarter, and we remain guarded about near-term growth.
