There is little likelyhood that Intel would ever get into the business of selling boxes directly because it would antagonize their customers. Why would Dell buy Intel chips and get their pants kicked in the marketplace (of course they would have to buy Intel for the server market at the moment and maybe forever). Every box maker in the country would take a much more serious look at AMD, Cyrix and IDTI. Intel will do just fine without wasting its resources on Compaq (or on its own stock for that matter).

In the April 7th issue of PC Magazine Dvorak devoted his entire column to the theory of why Intel and Compaq would merge. This wasn't a joke, this was his opinion. <you may have wanted him to say that> Why would I want that? Last time I checked the fasting growing most profitable PC company in the world was Dell which not so coincidentally sells Intel CPU boxes only and has refrained from selling Segment 0 PC's. <INTEL to stop its trouble of the sub1000 > Trouble? Again you seemed very confused. The vast majority of sub1000 PC's are based on Intel processors. thanks for recycling the old trash keep up the good work for the enviroment
