RE <<<Having said that, I would be surprised if Via doesn't have to make some choices here. Intel will be at a disadvantage because of the lawsuit situation but in this industry loyalties can change for the right price. Intel and AMD will probably get opportunities to sharpen their dealmaking skills.>>> I think it may play out differently..... the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If this plays out the way it is being discussed, Via has a choice: take a few extra dollars on the front end, or deliver a small blow to a formidable enemy which to some degree will help level the playing field to their advantage. If I were Via, I would blow off intc and charge AMD a little bit above market for its chipsets. ted
