SpryGuy - Re: "I wonder how many $100's more a 900 MHz PWeeIII "all-in" system will cost than an equivalent 900 MHz Athlon system!!! Poor Intel, after 8 months, finally get to the point of offering a couple of 900 MHz competitors, only to find that they can't compete on a price basis! Such a pity to watch the decline of such a once great empire!"

Intel competes on Performance, and since the Coppermines outperform an equivalently clocked AthWiper in most benchmark tests, Intel based systems COMMAND A PREMIUM PRICE - and they GET IT !

A PREMIUM BRAND always has the advantage over the Wal Mart and COSTCO price leaders.
