Ten - Re: "Intel also offered to produce the X-Box motherboard. Did AMD?" Yes - AMD - demanded that they produce the X-BOX motherboard. That's why Microsoft went with Intel instead ! Paul

Tenchusatsu, re:"Xbox 1) Intel's P3 CPU doesn't produce as much heat as AMD's Duron. (The THG video should erase any doubt over this.) 2) Intel's P3 CPU has a lower die size and lower cost of production than AMD's Duron. 3) Intel also offered to produce the X-Box motherboard. Did AMD?" Was not the xbox demoed with an AMD cpu? Was not the cpu changed less than 48 hours before the press release? Do you believe MS at the last moment considered your three possibilities? IMO MS took Intel's bid at the last moment on price alone. MS isn't stupid. We will have to agree to disagree. Steve
