Despite the X-Box experience, it must be getting tougher for Intel to play the bully, not though from a lack of motivation, but because the stick they are carrying isn't as overwhelmingly powerful as the one AMD has. What's Dell going to do: choose an inferior chip from Intel at a slightly lower price? SteveC, I do not mean to sound like A. Greenspan but I think a number of us are beginning to forget what a very formidable adversary, Intel, the multibillion $, monster, chipzilla, is. AMD stick that you refer to is very small by comparison. If AMD manages to pull off what it is trying to pull, it will be the major coup of the 21st century......and it will take a few years before we know if they have been successful. And as for being harder to play the bully....I don't think so. JMHO. ted
