Joe,, Re<<<<Now if the customers in "protected" market have no choice other than Intel, why should Intel waste the scarce high clock speed Piiis or P4s? All they get is Piii 600 through 733, and the big guns are reserved for the competitive market. That's why the rare 1 GHz chips were targeted to consumer market. And that is the same reason why P4s are targeted to consumer market.<<<< Joe , this is the same arrogance that led Intel to try to push Rambus on it's customers, which is the idea that the corporate market is Intel's no matter what. Maybe Intel is legally bound to Rambus but I am not; nor are the corporations legally bound to Intel. When the price to stay with Intel becomes greater than the price of switching; the corporations will switch.
