Scumbria, Re:"If VIA/TSMC can build 400 MHz parts for $10, put them in their own $200 boxes, and sell about 10,000,000 of them- they will be doing very well!" Folks have found that if you want a hard drive, modem, monitor its tough to beat $500-600 as a base ASP. So if you are there and you have a $450 computer at 400Mhz and a $500 computer at 600Mhz which one will folks buy. I doubt if 10M folks see a $50 difference as the final determinant in such a selection. Oh and BTW even if the silicon is free the packaging/test costs alone exceed $10. regards, Kash.
