Maybe something similar but with slightly lower numbers. Like 200,000 free chips for the winner if they sell 250,000 or maybe 300,000+ and 50,000 for the runner up? Or better yet the next 200k are free after they sell the 200-300k systems in a business line, not the first 200-300k they sell. Tim

Tim, The reason I think it would be a good idea for AMD to offer some free chips to the OEM(s) offering business line is because it would offest their cost of designing and verifying the line, and basically removes the major reason not to do it. There is nothing to lose. What is amazing to me is that Athlon's superiority is in applications that improve business productivity, while P4 is the most competitive in apps that reduce business productivity, and it is most likely that P4 will make it to the business lines and Athlon will not.
