Marco Polio - Re: "Do you see profits on the horizon for Intel's X-Box contract? " Yes OF COURSE - next year. Intel is THE LOW COST CPU producer, don't forget !! Re: "Bill Gates! It's no secret he prefered/prefers the Athlon... " No he doesn't. The Intel Contract is PROOF POSITIVE of that !! How long have you lived in the State of Denial? Re: "Intel will be shipping a $20 bill with every chip." Nope. My bet is that Intel could make a meager profit if the SOLD the X-BOX CPU for $20. Your narrow, little, feeble mind has - understandably - NOT FACTORED IN the fact that by the time the X-BOX is in full production - year 2002 - Intel will have transistioned to a 0.13 micron wafer fab process, and will be well on its way to transitioning to 300 mm wafers with this 0.13 micron process into production. Guess what the cost of a Shrunken Pentium III or Timna II will be under those conditions ? Paul
