Elmer, Since AMD parts were priced lower than Intel parts Intel had to move to counter them. Had they stayed there and warred by marketing methods then we would have a different chip ecology and far higher prices with both AMD and Intel making more money. Bill, had AMD priced their product near Intel's price both companies would be making lots more money today. AMD chose not to do this. In effect intel made huge manegrial error and their SH are now paying for it. You are a classic. You don't even mention the blunders Jerry makes and how AMD shareholders are paying for it. Without Intels actions of price war then AMD would make money and Intel would have made $25 billion more....but AMD would be far stronger than it is today. Without AMD's price war both companies would be making more money today. EP
