John, I don't think it's correct to say AMD is eliminating the low end. By all indications, the Duron will be extremely competitive with the celery once the infrastructure is in place. It's already plenty competitive on straight up price/performance, though Intel is clearly ahead in integrated chip sets. But there are plenty of integrated chipsets for socketA in the works. Of course, AMD is much better off selling ghz Athlons for $500 than it is selling $70 Durons, if there are production constraints. Cheers, Dan.

Re: But the retail on on a PC with a $1000 cpu would probably be about $3500 Would be? As though they don't exist? Ahhh... you are considering only Intel. AMD based 1GHZ pcs typically sell for $1,999 to $2,499 and are available pretty much everywhere computers are sold. 1GHZ is pretty much a requirement for a high end PC these days, anything else is midrange. If you intend to keep it for more than a year or two, don't settle for less than 1GHZ. :-) Dan
