Albert, Re: " ... either it is good idea or not it is up to manufacturers to decide that. The only thing that intel can do is to inform them." And that is exactly what INTC has done ... They have informed the mobo manufacturers. Please don't "cry" too much in your "coffee". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

Albert, Re: "re: Wouldn't you consider it a good idea for these manufacturers to halt production until the licensing can be cleared up in court? either it is good idea or not it is up to manufacturers to decide that. The only thing that intel can do is to inform them." Intel is informing them, only you think that they are also threatening them. As for your other counter-analogy, that would only apply to what I was saying if I went to the store, bought high volumes of Pentium 4 CPUs, and then planned to sell them all in Pentium 4 systems. And, AMD would have to publicly announce the patents that Intel is infringing on, so that I would be able to take them seriously. And of course, if I still thought AMD was full of hot air, I could still buy the systems under the assumption that they'd lose in court to Intel. If I'm wrong, and AMD wins this theoretical court case, then I may be liable for any Pentium 4 systems that I allowed to be shipped to the public. wanna_bmw
