<< Are people who drive Mercedes suckers? Lexus? If people want cheap, they can get that too - a K6-2 or Cyrix Miis That's why Rolex keeps selling watches and making good profits while Casio pumps out the cheapies and barely breaks even. Paul PS - Sounds like you are a bit upset at the Gateway/XEON announcement. It kinda takes away the "lustre" from the upcoming low end Gateway K6-2 box - doesn't it? >> You can not compare Computer chips with cars and watches. Because they are counted by millions. It is collectable. Its life is only around 3-5 years. After that it would be too slow, (much faster chip will be available on the market). Therefore, CPU price goes down much fast then cars and watches. There is no point to compare.
