Re: "I guess you're not as paranoid as Grove is. AMD would be lucky if you were running Intel." Did Intel slash prices to destroy AMD when AMD was struggling to produce the K5? No. Intel doesn't care about competition so long as the competition is small and has inferior products. Intel's price cuts are designed to protect market share and cripple development of competitive technology. If I were in Grove's position, I might have made the same price cuts. I don't know where the balance is between the costs (lost profits) of cutting prices and the benefit of retarding the competition. Grove has access to a lot more information on that than I do. All I'm arguing is that it's not Grove's or Intel's intent to put AMD, Cyrix, or anyone else out of business. The intent is to keep the competition in the kind of position that it was in about two years ago. Kevin
