JF, of course I care about profits. I have stock options, don't I? ;-) What I said was a moot point anyway. Without competition, the higher gross margin will more than make up for the decrease in units. But average prices for PCs won't go up by more than a hundred dollars or so (wild guess). One bad thing about the duel between Intel and AMD is that it locks both of them in a rat race for speed. And that's turning out to be no more than an expensive p!$$!ng contest, given that few people pay for performance anymore. Personally, I'd rather spend the extra money on a thin-n-light laptop than an extra 500 MHz in performance (or QuantiSpeed). I'd also spend the extra money on a more secure, stable, and easy-to-use system, but that's hardly under the control of Intel or AMD. Tenchusatsu
