Elmer, Remember the Bausch and Lomb lawsuit where they sold the same identical lenses in different packages called different things. Some were monthly wearable and the others daily. The daily were cheap and the monthly were a lot more. B&L tried to wiggle out by saying they suggested a different use & lens treatment routine, and they lost that lawsuit. Big costs. In the same way if it can be shown that the same CPU from the same process is packaged differently and sold at a different price then the lawyers will enter into a feeding frenzy as the precedents are established. So if you have a P-II 350 and a 400 and you analyze them and find that they are the same dice from the same fab and that they run at the same max speed........could be a problem. A friend of mine is a contingency fee lawyer, I will ask him about this and see what he says. Bill
