James - You need to help me understand why someone would not buy an AMD chip because 'it has no future'. I don't think a low end PC is like a car, where you need to worry about parts possibly ten years down the road, it's a chip for goodness sake! If it works and runs the software, does the average Circuit City PC customer care if it's AMD or Intel inside? I think they care more about price, and apparently the performance is there. I have INTC stock, but I crack up with the repeated posts that state 'anyone who goes with AMD has done something bad'! I thought the idea in business was 'if you are a product buyer, be it chips or anything else, you don't want a monopoly, you want multiple sourcing for better pricing'! Sure, INTC wants to be a sole provider, do you really believe it's customers want this? Enlighten me.... Thanks, John
