Petz, Re: Can you guys comment on whether you've seen any reduction in Athlon/Duron at retail stores? Unfortunately Athlon/Duron had never a too big retail presence in Germany. The two biggest chains Media Markt and Saturn are Intel only. However, computer resellers like Vobis have recently switched to AMD (for Vobis the mix is e.g. 50:50 now, at least judging from the number of different models). And I certainly don't need to talk about the popularity in the "screwdriver and enthusiasts market" (Peter's pricelist speak for themselves). However, I'm every week disappointed again when I read the weekly retailer ads in the newspapers and find almost no Athlon systems. Only the smaller chains offer them. Andreas
