<By buying a microprocessor maker, Formosa will have all the pieces needed to churn out low-cost PCs and compete aggressively in the market.>

V-Machines, anyone?

This underscores two things:

- Competition, especially in the low end, will become tight with razor-thin margins.

- AMD really needs to pull out of the low-end market, or at least come up with a better low-end business plan besides praying that the Athlon or K6-III has any hope of competing down there.

- PC market in Asia is going to heat up like crazy.
