John, You knowledge of history seems OK, but your recent knowledge is sorely lacking. The Athlon has been well represented at retail for some months now and the new buy consumers know what it is as they have choices at retail. Dellerites and Gtweans perhaps not, but IBM, CPQ and all the SD shops have been educating people and they appreciate it. Now they know that the parts are 100% compatible and the AMD parts have far fewer listed bugs and they learn fast, and this is Joe Sixpack. Techs know all about it and buy the Athlon almost exclusively as they want the max Mhz/$$ ratio. There must be a number that expresses the performance per $, like a Reynolds number or some such, so we can quantify this. So no assumption that Intel is a shoo-in to any buyer is valid now. They want MHZ and $$$, those are the questions. Why are you so loyal to Intel? own lots? well it seems to be doing well these days, at least until the chickens come home to roost, earnings wise in the following year. Bill
