Brian,

RE -- More on the INTC "shortage":

It could be a great strategy of INTC -- they try to get back those lost shares of low end processors from AMD and NSM by increasing 'sub zero' parts, at same time temporarily decreasing hi end parts. or they try to help those big OEMs to get larger market shares from small basement pc builders by locating most high end parts available only to them. I don't see any pc prices going up her in Canada, actually the pc prices of CPQ, IBM, aser and nec are going down every week ( my 333mhz machine lost 1/3 value in 4 months).

though the 'shortage' could be good news for INTC, it's not necessary good news for semi equipment co.s. some more food for think:
