The incentive to break away

So when have you heard that phrase before Paul? The incentive to break away from going with the safe choice---Intel. THat is the message of the article you posted.

Try this incentive: Another VAR comes in with a machine half the price, shows them it can run the programs faster than what they've got and says the price includes a 17" monitor. They look at the beautiful colors on the monitor, its size, the small text that you can still read and salivate over having that monitor on their desk.

The VAR that hid behind the safe Intel choice is history. Consumers already know that sub-1K systems are not underpowered. When the business customers gain a little more experience with these products.....

Notice AMD's emphasis on graphics. THe safe 17" monitor costs a lot more than $285. But I remember when Nokia and Nanao were not the safe choices, NEC was.

Our friends in Taiwan are offering 17" .25mm monitors for $285.
