Why lower prices as long as competition (INTC) has capacity problems so will likely not lower prices. Usually INTC takes the lead imo in price reductions, but I do not see them doing that right now, better to make the profit. cor

Re: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that supply and demand were related to price. AMD is selling CPU's at the price level which they believe provides optimum returns. When Dresden starts cranking out millions of 1GHz+ parts, do you think it is possible that they will lower the prices so that they can sell more of them?" Good one Scumbria!! You're getting more and more creative as the need arises. I was merely pointing out the falicy of the claims that AMD can sell every Athlon they make. Clearly they can't unless they want to give them away. But let's not quibble because AMD is taking off for the moon... Just like NiceGuy promised us it would every single day. My May $70 CCs just might hold up if the trend continues. In fact my April $65 CCs might hold up too! EP
