John, Re: "Intel decided it was a good idea to "warn computer makes to steer clear of a new [P4-DDR] chip set from Via." A statement like that is prima face proof of "restraint of trade" unless Intel proves, by winning a lawsuit, that VIA is violating Intel's P4 bus patents."

You are confusing a warning with an ultimatum. So far, Intel is only urging their partners not to build a motherboard based on the P4X266 because they feel certain that they will win the case. If motherboard manufacturers end up building inventory that they can't sell (if Intel wins in court), then they will take a loss in that inventory. This is only standard procedure.
