Albert, Re: "Intel is moving toward .13 which should roughly make up for the size difference between pIII and p4." Actually, the Pentium III is only 90mm^2 (85mm^2 for Tualatin), while a shrunk Pentium 4 is estimated at 140mm^2, still a lot larger. But I understand your point, and I am also wondering what Intel plans to do with all the extra capacity. One thing I am sure of, though, is that there has got to be a better reason than to flood the market with volumes of chips that far over-exceeds demand. wanna_bmw
