Re: "Sorry if what I'm about to say comes across as biting, but this so-called "truce" is bogus. Why would AMD price a 600 MHz Athlon under the starting price of a 600 MHz Pentium III (coming out in August), if Athlon is higher performance (thus higher demand) and lower volume?" If the power of Intel's brand is for real, this shouldn't bother you or worry you. In fact, you should be happy about it and consider it status quo. You can bet Hood isn't complaining that it can price its milk $0.10 over the competing local brand, even though the milk itself is practically identical (and in fact even comes from the same cows!). Add to that the (probably) greater (offsetting) cost of the motherboard/infrastructure and this price war you're declaring just doesn't exist. Unless you think AMD should price the Athlon comparable to the Xeon it outperforms? Kevin
