>>I don't believe the OEM's really feel that AMD is needed to keep Intel honest with respect to pricing. Intel has always, and I mean always, used price to spur demand.<< Interesting thought. >>As for "we'll let the market decide" is good PR and anit anti-trust. It's a self-serving statement. In fact, what else could they say--"we insist on you using Rambus memory"-- that would surely bring out the Justice Dept.<< And the VIA suits are appeasements to the Justice Dept.? I don't think Intel's Rambus campaign ever looked threatening to the Justice Dept.
