Buck,
Re -- The board with AMD K6-266 sells for $409 at TC Computers.

You are missing the point. In comparison to all of the socket 7 mb's, the ones that claim to support AMD-266 are very few. Thus they do not have the economies of scale. As your above price points out, once the Celeron 266 is availble, the MB with chip will be much cheaper than the above.

Thus AMD will have to sell their 266's at $80, which even at .25u will result in SIGNIFICANT LOSSES.

AMD is going bankrupt Buckwheat. There is no other way out. The resignation of the CFO shows that this is well on the way to becoming true.

BTW, just because a MB and a chip is available, that does not necessarily mean they work together!!! Most of these 3rd tier MB manufacturures do not test their boards well.
