Intel's "road map" is not a road map for innovation but consolidation. It is interesting that this comes out of the governments anti-trade investigation. It is clear that Intel simply wants to destroy competition in the multimedia industry. Institutional investors may love monopolies but the people don't. Monopolies stifle innovation. Intel didn't innovate 3D graphics with the i740. It fact, it butchered it. It's the poorest solution out there. It's only advantage is it's cheap. And it's goal was simply to cause massive financial pain in the graphics industry. Now they want stuff this lousy solution and some cheap sound into a "single chipset". They want to tie up the boxmakers and prevent anyone from being able to offer upgrades and new solutions to multimedia. Their goal is simply to grab all the business out there, not to grow the industry or provide new capability. And what is the goal of even publicizing this road map. My guess is it's to suck the investment capital away from any competition. Without capital, many of these companies will wither and die. Which of course is Intel's real "road map". Dennis
