Tench - Re: I'm arguing, however, that AMD is indeed charging less for the Athlon than they can realistically get for it. Either that, or like Ali Chen said, the Tier 1 customers are forcing AMD to sell the Athlon at lower prices, perhaps in an attempt to get Intel to discount the Pentium III.

I just came across this bit on Ace's Hardware (www.aceshardware.com):

"OK, some prices for K7 MB are here, the MSI 6167, at 29800 yen"

which comes out as approx. $250. That's a lot of dough for a PC motherboard and may (in part) explain the pricing of the K7s. The link at Ace's in incorrect... the correct link is:
