Scumbria, my point is that the consumer sweet spot is 500-700Mhz. The fact that AMD has to price its chips at such a discount to Intel's equivalent chips in this price range indicates that AMD is at a big competitive disadvantage. A LOT of profits is being left on the table (actually in the OEM's pockets) and i doubt AMD is selling enough at 750+ to make up for this problem. joey, Do you think the consumer sweetspot will remain 500-700 if AMD can ship 700-900s in volume at the same price? ted
