Amy, Will Geode be a threat to Timna? Are these products targeting the same markets? The advantages that Geode offers are very low power and cost. Timna will offer more processing power and 3D graphics. I suspect that Timna will capture all of the low cost PC business, and Geode will be favored for very low power applications. Unless the performance of Geode increases, it may become obsolete in the face of competition from Timna however. One thing to remember is that Geode/MediaGx have been around for several years, and are thoroughly debugged. It may take a while for Timna to be perceived as confidently. Scumbria
