RE:"This is what stinks about AMD's situation. Intel will probably soon switch Celerons to NW 128 or 256, and AMD ends up competing with the Celeron line, needing to undercut it substantially, while Intel has the high end with no competition, collecting premium dollars. AMD has been there during the last days of K6 and it was not pretty" Exactly.

JH, you made my point. Intel doesn't need to keep rolling out new grades, but they do thinking it will help to stop the bleeding. But what they are doing is worse long term as they have put computing so far ahead of the code it makes no sense for current users to upgrade as there systems are NOT slow, not to mention the economy sux. Intel should have just slowed down the rollouts and lay people off. Problem is they are trying to force people to buy and it's not working.
