The 1.5 is worth its weight in gold right now...why down bin it?

My post was assuming that AMD can produce 1.5 ghz chips (unlikely in my opinion) and that they could sell some of them at some outrageously high price but could not sell all of them. I don't think this will happen because I believe they can not produce 1.5ghz Athlons and because if they can there would be very few and AMD should be able to sell them all. However if You could only sell 90% of the 1.5s at say $2k, it would be better to sell the other 10% as 1.2 for say $900 then to put them on the shelf, or reduce the price for 1.5s to $1500. In any case this is all highly theoretical. I don't think AMD has the 1.5s and if they do they can probably figure a better way to maximize profits on them then I can (and even I was somehow better at this then they are they wouldn't listen to me anyway :)
