Tench - Re: On the other hand, remember that AMD's purpose is to cause maximum damage to Intel, as opposed to creating maximum profits for shareholders. The K7 pricing strategy does seem _very_ odd. My only speculation is that it could be preemptive - in the sense that if AMD had set the price much higher, Intel would simply have lowered their prices. This way, all the intermediate steps are skipped. (I still think they set the price too low, though). With regards to motherboad prices, I remember one of the main motherboard/chipset makers saying that a K7 motherboard would not cost more that 'a good BX board' (whatever that means). Sorry about not having a link to this, but that's how I remember it. --fyodor
