Bill,

My weekly visit to Fry's indicates that K6 and Celeron are about equally represented in entry level systems. PIII dominates the mid-range, and Athlon owns the high end.

Spitfire should take over the mid-range, so Intel will be relegated to massive price cutting to hold the entry level.

Re: "There might be a rush down in prices this summer? except for the fast parts AMD makes."

Comment: If Spitfire and T-Bird are as good as rumour has them to be, I suspect their prices will be close to inelastic...As mentioned previously, AMD is currently circling the wagons and Mr. Sanders doesn't appear to be wanting to take any prisoners (as implied in his comments after the Xbox fiasco).

As I sit here this morning 45 minutes before the open, and before what could be a record volume week for AMD, and which if so, could result in a test of the $100 barrier, a song comes to mind:

Is this the dawning of the age of AMD
Age of AMD
AMD
....

Interesting era we are verging on in the microprocessor industry!
