Scot,

Re:"Chipsets"

First having your own chipset ASSURES quality and performance. Pretty DUMB to have a BILLION dollar fab investment wasted by crappy MB's and chipsets.

Secondly it helps on the margin side. One can bundle the CPU,MB just like INTEL did to kill AMD's K6 margins mid last year.

Thirdly, VIA is a predator. AMD is getting pretty NAIVE if they think these guys are a valuable LONG term partner they should nurture.

Fourthly, clearly chipset makes a real world difference in performance. 3rd parties have alway suffered against Intels chipsets in performance. AMD own seems like a pretty good solution. Now VIA comes along with a crappy chipset. Intel must be rolling on the floor laffing their assess off.

And finally there is history. Many folks hated the Super 7 MB's due to crappy chipsets and MB's. This definately limited their acceptance. Admittedly 3rd parties have gotten better - just not as good as intel.

Perhaps you can come up with a real good reason - besides motherhood and apple pie.

regards,

Kash
