Kevin - Re: " In fact, they're less dominant with every additional CPU that AMD produces. Been to your local computer store lately?"

As a matter of fact, I have.

Intel's Celeron dominates the number of PCs on sale in the $699 to $999 range. There are a few AMD K6-2 350 and 333 MHz machines - all no-names except Compaq and an occasional HP.

At the high end - 400 MHz and up, only Pentium II machines are available.

In notebooks, Intel also dominates -m Pentium II and Pentium MMX - except for no-name brands with K6-266 MHz - plus Compaq.

HP has a nice new notebook - the Journado - come to think of it. I saw it on Sunday. It's a Windows CE machine with an Intel StrongARM CPU. I didn't see any K-ARM based notebooks.

My guess is that the new retail reports are going to reflect the regained - and regaining - market share of Intel.

Wall Street seems to anticipate this.
