Tench, 1st time buyers could have been lured into a sub-$1000 PC with a 300 Mhz K6 and lowly graphics. Their next PC would have been a > $1000 P3 at 600Mhz or something like that. I know a lot of people who bought a value PCs and 12 months later they complain because all the new software (games) runs like crap on them. A more expensive PC can last 2 years or so. Plus moving your software from 1 PC to the next is a nightmare. To be honest with you I don't know exactly what would have happened had intel not entered the value market. All I know is that Intel made it a valid market. Like all of you guys know, the Intel brand name is very strong and their products were significantly better than AMD's/Cyrix's until the Athlon. One good reason that I had not thought of for Intel entering the value market might have been a foresight that something like the Athlon could have come out from their competitors and entering the value market was like a preemptive strike.
