Pete, > If you sell 1M CPUs to OEM A and OEM B, you must charge the same for both, even if they sell different amounts of CPUs overall (say 2M and 5M). Otherwise its preferential treatment and thus, illegal. I don't know what the law says or doesn't say regarding this, but I can be pretty sure you don't know, either. My opinion remains, however. Purchasing agreements between different vendors can vary widely. So can volume discounts. I'm pretty sure that's true for AMD's agreements as well as Intel's, so your interpretation, if applied equally, would find AMD just as guilty. Now I'll wait while you try and convince me that it's different for a "monopoly" ... Tenchusatsu
