Dan,

<I think there were supposed to be at least two corporate PC deals, and that at the last minute they were cancelled. And it was due to Intel pressure on the OEMs.>

Right before the launch of 1.1GHz, Jerry told a interviewer that all major OEMs save one (Dell) were going to announce 1.1 GHz systems, I was wondering about that...

There must be some price negotiation that went on, OEMs going back and forth to AMD and Intel, until Intel gave in the same manner as Microsoft/Xbox deal, and when they went back to Jerry with Intel's number...

<So Jerry said "F**K This", mark 'em at the speeds they test at and price 'em to sell.>
