Ali... "once Brookdale hits the market..." (edit: you know not what you ask for)... When (if) this happens you can kiss AMD goodbye. (you may still have to, depending on the cost of RDRAM and Brookdale doesn't surface). Low cost for the massive segment... you know, all the mom and pops, as you say, that don't know any better will buy a Pentium 4 system. According to you they may as well be ordering a salami sandwich. To them salami is salami... poor stupid people... how would they know that there are many brands of salami... they just order what they hear other people talk about... salami... "PENTIUM 4!" Then after a time, when AMD is crawling on their belly, Intel can phase out the old SDRAM based P-4 Brookdale and bring in their RDRAM products. In the meantime, for the people in the know, they will buy the top of the line RDRAM Pentium 4 products for their needs. Hell, if I were Intel, I would also come out with a DDR product using DDR from Micron and let it fail on purpose and then put the blame on Micron. I can see the Headlines now, "Intel vows never to use Micron DDR memory again due to it's high failure rate and instability." WOW what a way to squash a bug.! Like I said, Great marketing team that Intel has!
