K7Nerd - Re: "Now if you were a box maker and you had a choice of:
1. Coppermine at Intel's typical high price with Camino with Intel's typical high price with drdram at 2x or 3x sdram prices or
2. K7 priced below Coppermine with AMD chip set priced below Camino with dirt cheap sdrams available in massive supply from everyone."

Box makers were given a near identical choice in February - AMD offered "cheap" Kmart 63's and Intel offered expensive Pentium IIIs.

(DRAM offersings weren't an issue)

The box makers overwhelmingly chose Pentium IIIs over the cheaper Kmart 63's - which have since become EVEN MUCH CHEAPER - yet the Pentium III PCs are ubiquitous and the Kmart 63's are MIA.
