Scot - Re: "What's the point? After the last several quarters, does anyone really want this market? " AMD lost HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS in that market. Intel MADES HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS of PROFIT in that market - so yes, Intel wants it - and now Intel HAS IT ! Re: "$499 for a box that contains the "latest Pentium III chips." Sounds like Intel's ASPs are headed downward. I didn't see the Celeron mentioned....did you?" Nope - Coppermine Pentium ///s are cheaper to produce than 0.25 micron Celerons - 106 sq. mm. vs 154 sq. mm, respectively. Pentium ///s + i810e chip sets, and Intel will earn a nice profit from these boxes. Paul
