SCUMbria - Re: "Q. If Microsoft sells a box for $150, including DVD and an 8 GB disk, how much profit does the CPU manufacturer make?
A. Nothing, but at least they avoid facing a second embarassing loss to AMD in one week.
On the other hand, AMD can use their resources to build processors which sell for more than the cost of an x-box. ;^)))"

I'm sure you would be touting AMD's LOW MANUFACTURING costs and LARGE WAFER FAB capacity as reasons for AMD to make a small fortune on X-BOX CPUs had AMD won the contract !!

Whine, on SCUMbria !!

Those Sour Grapes are really making you Pucker Up !
