Albert, re:I can not see anyone paying $300 more... Perhaps, we shall see. But I have to say, this is awfully close to the old Droid soundtrack: no one needs more performance than AMD offers. ~dbf

Albert, RE: <I can not see anyone paying $300 more on a $1500 system for for less than ~5% improvement. If anyone is that power-hungry they would probably go with dual processor systems> Isnt' this precisely what the situation was before the current environment (economy & price war). That is, both Intel & AMD charged a substantial premium for their top-of-the-line chips, regardless of how little the incremental performance increase. For whatever reason: low supply, good demand, finance a price war, because they could, you name it. Because they could: Can they do it now? I think not. Not for long anyway. Not if they want the P4 to win back market share. But that's just my WAG. Time will tell. JJ
