So is the computer industry going to hit that long and painful slide to commoditization? Well, it has already to some extent. There are still a lot of things that can be done at the system level with specialized processors and what not to keep them out of the bubble pack at the checkout counter. And there is always Cell, an exciting idea that is deeply flawed in implementation. It is flawed because it breaks backward compatibility and is a bitch to program effectively. Both can probably be fixed, it just will take the right team with the right ideas. But it isn't there yet. What is cell? I have never heard of it. The K8 does have a lot of advantages over the P4 derivatives that Intel has. That will change with the new chips(NGA) that Intel has been talking about. AMD has some tricks up their sleeves also. So I suspect the market will be a lot more interesting than it has been for the last year or so. I would say that its already been fairly interesting the past year. What did you think about INTC's guidance.......that demand is slowing?
