Fyo, Re: "- Major OEM's pay a lot less for Intel CPUs than small box-makers and SD shops do. (the same goes for AMD CPUs, of course, but the difference is not nearly as large)." And how much is "a lot less"? Are you in the neighborhood of 10%, or are you suggesting among the other conspirators about Intel giving away Pentium 4 CPUs for $100? "- Intel pays for a significant amount of many OEM's advertising. Naturally, this allows them not only to charge more for similar CPUs, but also to place certain demands on product marketing and placement in ads and stores etc." This allows Intel to get OEMs to promote systems based on their chips, and to use their logo in the commercials, but how would this affect why these OEMs are not showcasing AMD's high end offerings? wanna_bmw
