RE:"Just thinking out loud. Can't think of many good reasons why Emachines got the deal." Pretty simple. Intel wanted to eliminate the lower speed grade P-IIIs 450 and 500. Get those ASPs up...compensate for flopper flop. They convinced Gateway they didn't need them and made a clearance deal with e-machines. When Gateway screamed for more, Intel had already contracted with e-machines and wouldn't down-bin enough for Gateway. Gateway was livid...and called Jerry. End of story. Jim
