Charles, Why not an AMD brand. And have some taiwan/chinese outfit build em. I doubt if there's enough money for another tier. Lets see if they can do something innovative. Certainly this market doesn't have margins for too many middlemen. regards, Kash

Chuck - RE: "Unless a big OEM steps in the next couple of weeks, we are probably talking about second rate brands showing up in Costco, Sam's Club, Wal-mart kind of consumer outlets (probably not enough volume or shelf space to hit the Computer super stores)" I guess they have to start of somewhere. If the public likes the way these look, AMD could have an advantage over Intel systems next year, until Intel (or an OEM) comes back with their own designs.
