Tench Re <<However, the low, low price of Athlons makes me wonder why there isn't a shortage of them.>>

Sigh!

You have made the same point over and over, and it is a bad one. You might want to take Econ 101.

You make it sound like that Athlon and PIII are inter-changeable parts. Well they are not. Athlon has been growing at 100('s) of percent per quarter. The market is changing and accepting the Athlon at a huge rate. Athlon is taking away market share from PIII rapidly. It is getting design wins after design wins, all the infrastructure (MB, chipset, power supply?) for Athlon is expanding rapidly. Every thing is just rosy.

Again, if you could just stick an Athlon in a PIII slot, they would sell at even a faster rate, but unfortunately that is not how it works.
