Steve, <http://www1.pcworld.com/current_issue/article/0,1212,11966,00.html One article discusses that the Athlon systems were priced about $200 less than Piii counterparts. That may be one straw Intel considered in cutting their prices this weekend. > AMD drew the battle line by killing the pricing on the 500MHz speed grade - it appears that AMD management thinks they have 550/600/650 MHz speed grades to keep up the ASPs. Intel is trying hard to keep the market share and just about the only way to do it now is to drop prices - Intel is doing what AMD did with the K6 family - can't sell on performance so will drop price. Healthy competition so far. It will be fun to see where it goes from here. Chuck
