Jay, IMO, You are living in a dream world that is inhabited only by INTC holders who have been lulled into complacency by Intel's past glories.
1. Representing the home market, when I buy my next PC (the fifth), it may not be under $1,000, but it sure won't be much more. My present 486-based system cost $2,300 originally and over $3,300 upgraded with a slow Pentium processor, second hard drive, more memory, CD-Rom drive, etc. For $1,000 ($1,400 with monitor), I can get 3 times the speed and 2 to 3 times the hard drive capacity. Why would I need more?
2. As for the corporate market (other than servers and specialized graphics or database applications), the advent of sub-zero's has to put pressure on what many cost-driven corporate buyers will pay for a system, especially when they weigh up the possibility of switching to NC type systems.
