<Elmer - re: You seem to be confused about who started the price war, if you can call it that. It was AMD who insisted on undercutting Intel's prices, not the other way around. It was AMD who decided to sell at a loss to gain market share, not Intel. AMD boasted that they could sell all the processors they could make. Why did they need to start the price war in the first place? Why do they continue it?> All AMD is doing is trying to survive against a ruthless competitor and you know it. Do you think they should just quietly go away? Intel is the one who invented $60 Celeron to suffocate AMD. Guess what? Intel is choking on Celeron now. Kap.

Elmer, <<You seem to be confused about who started the price war, if you can call it that. It was AMD who insisted on undercutting Intel's prices, not the other way around. It was AMD who decided to sell at a loss to gain market share, not Intel. AMD boasted that they could sell all the processors they could make. Why did they need to start the price war in the first place? Why do they continue it?>> Let's not focus the past (some of your points above are still debatable, let's just agree to disagree here), for our own sake, a truce in price war is good for me as AMD investor and for you TOO. Please enlighten me as to how peace can be made between the bleeding two?
