re: "AMD, in fact, has already been forced to lower its Athlon prices -- it had planned to sell the 600-megahertz Athlon for $699, but after Intel announced a 600-megahertz Pentium III for $669, AMD cut its price to$615." The ground rules clearly have changed, at least temporarily: $44/$669 clearly is not a 25% to a 50% discount. It is considerably less than 10% !!! Good Grief...you do not suppose that they are selling on the basis of relative performance and value, do you? Regards, DARBES
