>Actually, I think the masses are interested in a "fast enough" "cheap enough" computer, and couldn't care what processor it has inside. AMD would be stupid to blow a lot of money on a big advertising campaign. Or at least would have been up until now, or over the next few months perhaps. I could see something reasonable timed for back-to-school and/or xmas.< AMD's best use of advertising dollars would be to subsidize any dollars spent by vendors for shelf space. AMD could offer vendors such as Compaq, eMachines, and Gateway a set number towards buying shelf space at retailors such as Best Buy and Sears, for display of Athlon systems.
