Gary, I think you are right about the advertising, but the problem goes deeper. The folks from Intel seem, as an organization, to have no idea how the rest of the world functions. I have a small computer business which supplies computers and network integration to small and medium size businesses in the Puget Sound area. We attend, because we must, Intel meetings on a regular basis. Seldom does the program have anything to do with the market we are in. Everything is geared to a Boeing size operation. I realize that we only sell about 500 chips a year, and a similar number of mboards with Intel chipsets. Dell sells 5 million. But there are 10,000 small dealers like us in the country. Between us we also sell 5 million a year. A number of small dealers that I know about have switched to AMD product, not because they think it is better or because it is cheaper, because they feel brushed off by Intel. It seems that Intel believes they can just put a product on the market and it will sell. No reason to gear the advertising to the sizzle; no reason to prepare the dealers with ammunition to market the product; and no understanding of the needs and wants of the end users. I sell Intel because I believe is the best product for my customers. I get painfully little help from Intel in that effort.
