niceguy <Awfully easy to price something you can't ship at below market cost> I guess you mean "market value" ? Selling a product below cost to thwart a competitor would not be nice... The 1GHz for either company don't cost more to make... just harder to find. Agree with your basic point, though, that pricing of a product without real volume is less meaningful. And these are the "list prices" which no one pays anyway. PT

niceguy, re:<Awfully easy to price something you can't ship at below market cost...Question is...Will Dell spend the next 6 months waiting for the Intel 1 Gig to arrive in any meaningful quantity?> DELL's announcement that it "had no plans" to actually ship the Giggy Vapormine sounded like a slap in the face to Intel to me. IBM was much more discrete about the lack of chips. Mikey seemed to be rubbing Intel's nose in the dirt about it, and by pricing it at $6,000, it sends a signal that they didn't want Intel to do this vapor release. ("OK, Craig, I'll sell a few of your stupid Giggy chips, but I'll make more money on each one than you do!") And when did HP announce their Giggy, at 3:59 PM? Petz
