Elmer, I think you are missing the point. Even if Gateway mis-ordered, Intel didn't bend over enough to help them. They didn't down-bin enough and they fire-saled low end chips to Gateway competitors who killed Gateway in the $1000 zone. They looked out for themselves rather than help an old friend. A friend that gave exclusivity to Intel. Gateway and other OEMs will not forget this... A few 800s won't help the relationship. Intel was penny wise and pound foolish. As was Gateway in a different way. Jim
