Technology Stocks : Intel Corporation (INTC) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Paul and thread,

<Bear in mind, Intel's motives seem to be cost reduction - not system performance.>

IF the Slot 1 (cacheless) is fully compatible with the regular Slot 1 then I think that Intel's motives could be upgrade-ability. Joe Bob Public could easily upgrade to a faster (higher margin) genuine Intel Processor if the current system does not offer the performance he desires.

Sounds like this could be a solid plan.

Paul-thanks for the response re: "performance differences..."

I realize that INTC is looking to reduce costs in this move, I am just trying to determine if the loss of performance offsets the savings and therefore nor really a "bargain"

thanks again

billwot
