Joe, Re -- The costs have to passed on to consumers, who refuses to foot the bill. Is that why a Pentium 166 MMX sells for the same price as a 486GX? And provides much more functionality/performance than the obsolete 486GX internet appliance? Stockman

Joe, >>>Intel should rather pay a real divident if they don't know how to put the money to productive use.<<< If you remember, in your own words >>>If Cyrix and AMD surrender the high end chip market to Intel, Intel will use excess profits from that segment as a weapon to fight it out in the low end.<<< I agree though that sometimes with a lot of money, organizations get a little sloppy/complacent. People like Paul Engle and Andy Grove are used to spending big bucks. But, spending a few $billion on R&D here and there, - soon you are talking about some real money. Mary
