re: "Representatives from Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., were unavailable for comment" Isn't that wonderful? Why doesn't Intel ever speak up when people kick the crap out of them? Doesn't Chambers have a clone that Intel's PR can hire?

John, Gateway's woes and finger pointing: Gateway, which is almost exclusively dependent on Intel for motherboards as well as processors, said it was Intel's aggressive pricing throughout 1999 that persuaded it to essentially drop AMD from its lineup. The company said it's logistically easier to use a single supplier-but only if it the parts are delivered. Sole source is never a good idea, to me. Why sole source motherboards also (if it's true). Intel isn't God for crying out loud. Tony

RE: "noting that Intel had been persuaded to sell the company 500-MHz Pentium IIIs at 450-MHz prices" Thread, I just caught this line. Intel was selling selling 500MHz at 450Mhz prices. This translates to lower ASP for a particular sale (i.e. during the duration 500's were sold as 450's). Now, whether this has material affect on the bottom-line is a separate question. I sort of doubt it, provided 500s weren't being sold as 450s for a long duration of time. Any thoughts? Regards, Amy J
