Miss Paula, Do you see profits on the horizon for Intel's X-Box contract? Funny, no one else does! Especially not Bill Gates! It's no secret he prefered/prefers the Athlon... what was the offer MS couldn't refuse? Performance? Bwuahahahahahahahahahahaha! Intel will be shipping a $20 bill with every chip.

Paulie: Re: "So it's a MILL STONE for Intel !!!" Comment: Yep! Doubly so...Intel is tied into the MSFT production scheduling at little to non-existant margins while AMD is freed from any MSFT drag to produce high margin top-end Athy chips in a niche where little if any competition exists...Just watch how fast the entry level gets raised to 850 MHz! (Supplying the Xbox 650's beats having to discard the huge oversupply of 650's that has accumulated while attempting to push out 733's, I guess!)
