<if you dissagree that Athlon is forcing OEMs up the Mhz scale then I don't know what to tell you. <G> > I don't think I disagreed with that - I am afraid you may be reading something out of context. <So you are saying OEMs can get low speed chips and they say they can't get high speed chips from Intel. No wonder they aren't happy. <G> > Did you miss a "not" in the first part of the sentence? It sounds like that. Just to clarify: I am saying the OEMs are NOT getting either the low-end chips or the high-end chips in sufficient quantities from Intel. As I have said a few times earlier, IMHO, Intel has ceded both the low-end and the high-end to AMD and is focussing on the mid-range for Q4. I expect Q1 to be quite different as Intel comes back at the low-end a little bit more aggressively.
