Yes. But: does AMD have the capacity to supply a $50 Athlon cpu for the X-box and make money on it, in that time frame? It'd be cool. Personally, I think getting a DDR chipset that worked as good as the venerable BX is what would really make AMD a force. The PC market has the volume and the margins (well, in CPUs, anyway, the margins on game consoles are... slim.) Usually, the console makers subsidize the consoles from software sales, which Microsoft is certainly capable of doing, but that would also puts them in an odd position relative to the OEMs shipping cheap PCs. We'll see. Cheers, Dan.
