Re: "If Intel is allowed to pull off this X-box/SSE scam without an appropriate remedy to AMD, competition will be eliminated from the CPU business. This is in clear violation of the intent of the US anti-trust laws" Scumbria this is nonsense. What's to stop AMD from cloning those SSE instructions and according to Paul, they already have. You're just like Jerry complaining about the welfare check being cut off. Re: "It is unreasonable to expect AMD to "give away processors" to obtain a contract." AMD sold processors below cost for years in an attempt to gain market share and I don't remember you complaining. The fact that AMD cannot reduce their costs as low as Intel can is not Intel's problem but AMD's. That's why we have winners and that's why we have losers. The winners beat the losers. That's how we score the game. You would say that you can't expect AMD to try harder just to win. That's not "fair". Something has to be done to change the rules so AMD win's it "fair share". Intel must be cheating and the proof is that they won. EP
