But the added DVD HW cost is now less than $40.

I agree. With Intels move toward lower priced chips, odds are they will have to use other componants to compensate for lost features.

I think that the move toward cheap computers will bode well for DVD. The average person buying a cheap computer wants it to do some basic spreadsheet and word processer functions, internet, and some consumer functions like Quicken or Turbotax. But they will also want the maximum entertainment availible, such as games and music. So DVD should play well here.

You are so right. Why emphasize saving a few bucks on the high end? Is Intel not going to put a graphics accelerator (i740 or better?) in its high end machines? I can only scratch my head? Unless one is doing
graphics intensive stuff you really are not going to notice much
difference between a Pentium II 350mh and a 100mh 486dx. Therefore
why pay twice as much for a high end processor. I am sure that
I am missing something. I'd appreciate someone clarifying.
