Tony Viola. Re: "thank you for helping pioneer this thread three years or so back." My goodness--has it been that long? Seriously though, its people like you, Paul, Burt, Jules, John, Fred and others that keep me coming back.
BTW, Andy Neff of Bear Stearns estimates ASP$ of x86 microprocessors for the next few years as follows: 97: 201, 98: 198, 99: 196, 2000: 193, 2001: 189, 2002: 184.
He states that, "As a result of the mix shift toward the high end, x86 average selling prices are expected to decline just slightly over the next 5 years, even though midrange and workstation average selling prices are forecast to increase."
I hope he's right.
