<This could generate some volume sales.> You think so? You think $279 for a bare-bone system would fly? I have kind of lowered my expectation on this platform given that AMD has not been able to sign a single large OEM after the rumored PBNEC deal. (and PB of PBNEC dies as we all know). The only attractiveness of this platform seems to be from a second-tier view point. Second-tiers can get a decent system to go against the in-bred EasyNow class systems from the likes of CPQ/Dell. Of course, I would love for this thing to get into something bigger ;-)
