kash,

re: "Well I think consumers clearly have a brand preference at the system level.

This is clearly shown by the increasing market share of the big brands at the expense of the no-name brands."

Your statement proves my point, they buy brands they have heard of and trust, and Intel fits that category. AMD and Athlon don't.

re: "And yes, they could both learn a lot from somebody great like apple."

Great point. Apple is a superb marketer, with a vastly over-priced, incompatable product. Do you or anyone on this thread think that they have a superior product to AMD or Intel? Yet they are a leader in market share.

So what exactly is it that sells computers?

John

Kash - RE: box makers

Speaking of box makers, CNBC reported in the evening today that the average selling price for PCs increased from below $800 to $844 either last month or in November. There is supposed to be a WSJ article about it tomorrow.
