hmaly, Have you ever bothered to look up the definition of a price war. According to my New World dictionary "price war a situation in which competitors selling a certain commodity successfully lowers prices, as to force one or more competitors out of business." Do you really feel that Intel or any other competitor will be forced out of business because AMD lowered prices on their high mhz business? Get real. What makes you think your New World dictionary is the be all and end all. I remember gas price wars among Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, etc., when none of them really expected any of the others to go out of business, but they were still called that. The term price war has been used WRT predatory, if you will, pricing between AMD and Intel many times before, regardless of which company started it. Do you have a need to tag the evil empire twin (Intel) only with the term? One other thing, in the most general sense of the word war, Albania could try to start one with the US, without much chance of "putting us out of business." Tony
