Elmer - Re: "AMD is desperate enough to cut the price much lower than Intel would."

Didn't that article indicate Microsoft was targeting that Game Box at $299 (when competitive games cost ONLY $99 - $149 !!!!!)

As you note, AMD could possibly provide Microsoft with a low enough Athlon price - $29...$39 - to help Microsoft make $100 profit for themselves.

Of course, at $29 to $39 - we can guess what kind of "profit" (hint, hint, Winky Winky !!) AMD will make on those AThlons !

RE <<<It means MSFT thinks 2 things.

#1 Volume will be low and AMD won't become capacity constrained.

#2 AMD is desperate enough to cut the price much lower than Intel would.>>>

Elmer, your Fudd has got you confused again.

MSFT thinks 2 things:

1. no one may ever see a 733 cumine since it seems they all got lost in intc's flooding of the channels.

2. The Athlon is a very acceptable alternative.
