>What do you think would of happened if Compaq >listened to Andy, like Dell i don't know this, who does ? I think the real question is rather who is the driving force in the PC industry and the answer is clearly not the segment zero. Who is there ? AMD that cannot deliver ? CYRIX that stuff the channel today with the latest and greatest only to watch them dying tomorrow as Intel cuts prices ? Will the 4M x86 that IBM makes for CYRIX rescue them ? or the 3M K6 ? Unless you are "sandered" the answer is no. INTEL has the megafabs that nobody else can even dream about; you may say that Celeron is a glitch and MERCED will run NT like a dog and you might even be right in the short term. Who will care tomorrow about CELEROn once the $600 frenzy is over because memory are getting expensive again ? Who will care if MERCED is slow at FRS. I believe there is no problem that is so intractable that you can't cure it by throwing money at it. And Intel will.
