Marco: Ultima Online has alone sold millions of copies to "avid gamers".

Ultima Online does not benefit from a K7 compared to a K6-2.

Anyway, my point was that 'avid gamers' do not purchase the processors with the highest margin. Sure, they are higher than the (virtually non-existent) margins of 'value' processors (K6-2, Celly), but they are nowhere near the margins of the workstation/server market.

Do I think AMD's ASPs will go up with the introduction of the K7? Sure. It can hardly go anywhere else.
