John and all, <an AMD marketing executive, said the Sunnyvale, Calif., company is well prepared to produce chips that cost less than Intel's coming chips.> ...and may I add is prepared to accelerate their losses. Apparently, the executive and/or the author don't understand the relationship between price and cost. That's why AMD continues lose money. FF

Intel Corp.'s top executive demonstrated the chip giant's first chip designed specifically for personal computers that cost less than $1,000, one of the hottest parts of the PC market. Looks like the market place is beating Intel to the punch. I saw an ad for Circuit City yesterday, it had a no-name PC with PII/233, 32megs of RAM, 56k modem , 24x CD-ROM, AND 17" monitor for $1,099. That's a fully blown system for just above the magic $1,000 mark...it won't be long. I don't think Covington is needed. Happy hunting! Rick
