Daniel, I don't know if your post was intended to spark conversation but it was certainly full of misinformation.

Re: "Once there are parallel processor motherboards on the market for the K6-III, we may see some high end action for the simple reason that cost savings over comparable (even slightly faster) Pentium chips will be multiplied. For example, a server with 4 AMD K6-IIIs would be $880 cheaper to build than one with 500 Mhz Pentium IIIs."

You will never see any parallel processor MBs for any AMD K6x product because of the obsolete bus architecture of Socket7. It stinks for multiprocessor systems. AMD hasn't bothered trying because they know they wouldn't be able to find a customer stupid enough to buy one.

Re: "Given Intel's high overhead costs, all of this price cutting is bound to hurt profits there as well."

You are obviously ignorant of the subject otherwise you would know that Intel's costs are the lowest in the industry. Ignorance is cureable, stupidity is not. I don't think you are stupid.
