Thanks for your well-thought reply. I have a lot of faith in Intel.

Best,

PB:, Re: Only two OEMs supporting:
I suspect that AMD is ramping production as fast as they can....to reach the point where they can support more major OEMs with 'just-in-time' delivery committments. As they have ramped they have made their products available at the screwdriver shop level with the result that fast Athlons are buyable all over the place at prices that beat Dell and Gateway easily.
The parallel to the K6 debacle and those hopes and asps is not a good one as the situation differs.

PB - RE: "Remember ~ a year ago, and how the low end was going to drive the business, all the Celery jokes, and how the K6II and III was going to clean Intel's clock?"

That wasn't an all Intel doing. AMD screwed up and Intel was able to gain a LOT of marketshare back. If AMD hadn't screwed up Intel may have still gained back some marketshare, but it wouldn't have been as much as w/an AMD screw up.
