Paul, RE: "Now why would Packard Bell want to stick it to Intel just because a cheap floozy named Cyrix is out prostituting itself with marginally performing chips being sold at fire sale prices? Is this the way to run a business?" Packard Bell was going to use the Cyrix chip...then switched to Intel...could be a couple of reasons for this. 1. Cyrix couldn't provide enough chips. 2. PB decided to wait on a faster grade of GXm...MMX instructions. 3. Intel saw what was about to happen, had already lost some low end to AMD and made PB a deal reminding them of the past relationship you alluded to. As far as loyality to Intel vis a vis the bailout a few years ago. Maybe but with NEC owning half it's unlikely that PB would need another bailout from Intel or get one so I would be surprised if PB would stray from Intel. They were about to. BTW, PB is a boxmaker on the way down. Jim
