Paul, (Honest question) After reading through the Intel slides, does it seem to you like Intel would be quite happy to walk away from the desktop CPU market (over a period of years of course) and focus on very high-end workstations/servers. While a number of people may not see logic in this, it is actually a possibly good move. With the ever expanding presence of the internet, the demand for high-powered servers seems to be growing at a good clip. If companies have their way and even our toasters are 'computers' in the not too distant future, every house will need a server. I think Intel would be quite happy to sell one high-end unit per household and leave the 'desktop' and 'appliance' chip market to others.. thoughts and comments? Steve
