I'm sure most have seen this blurb about MS trying to squeeze a better price out of nVidia in regards to the xBox.
I wonder if they soon will be trying to put the squeeze on Intel for a better price on the Pentium III. That would be a big "whoop di doo"...


Another possibility: Microsoft is cooperating with Intel on enhancing the graphics performance of Intel's chip sets so that XBOX2 will be based entirely on an Intel Prescott Core and integrated Springdale or Granite Bay Graphics Controller.
One stop shopping, and Microsoft does know that Intel saved their bacon with XBOX motherboard corrections to solve NVIDIA chip set problems in the first XBOX.
NVIDIA could just be X'ed out of the next XBOX - by Intel.
