BMW, Re: " ... when AMD launched their 1GHz Athlon for $1299? Given half the chance, AMD would price their chips as high as Intel's or higher, yet they keep them low because they lack the demand ..." You're right ... The key really is customer demand. Prices drive some of the demand, but much of it is driven by customer perception of performance, support, reliability, and software/hardware compatibility. This is particularly true on the business side. Investors of AMD need to be aware that while a few "gamers" love AMD, business side is still an INTC "thingy".<ggg> Make It So, Yousef
