Jim, Intel has not punished anyone. The "punishment" you are talking about, is a result of supply/demand economics. A few years back when demand exceeded supply, Intel had to choose who got the limited supply of CPU's. At that time big OEM's were picked over smaller OEM's. The result was complaints by the smaller OEM's. At another time, Intel selected smaller OEM's over the larger ones. That got the big OEM's upset. What could Intel do? Intel is in this to make money. Intel would sell to anyone who wants to buy, as long as they have ample supply. You can't say Intel punished the OEM's, when demand outstripped supply, just like I can't say that OEM's have punished Intel now that supply outstrips demand. IMHO. Regards. SK
