Re: "Given that the motherboard pressure was being applied just as Justice was announcing "no problem here", Intel has certainly succeeded in presenting the Justice department as a bunch of imbeciles distracted by out of control substance abuse problems." Dan, this idiotic notion of yours looks pretty foolish in light of this Register posting theregister.co.uk "AMD, Intel deny mobo muscle allegations: Allegations that Intel has used its muscle in the market to deter Taiwanese manufacturers from producing motherboards for AMD microprocessors were denied by both companies today. Rana Mainee, AMD's European research director, said: "We do not know of any outright pressure." Market perception as AMD rolled out its Athlon K7 products may have been that there was not enough motherboard support, but, Mainee said, his company was pleased with the way things were going." EP
