<Here's the China article again... Finally found the link... duh!> I think price will be less of an issue in China for the next few years anyway. Paradoxically, the more something costs, the less sensitive we are to price. While we think we've got a bargain when we buy soap for $1 instead of $2, when spending more, say on a car or house, other factors can matter more. Since a PC must cost several months salary in China, and since it's such a big amount of money anyway, Chinese will probably just buy what they perceive to be the best system. This may explain why Intel PII are selling well in China, and I have not heard anything about K6 or Cyrix sales.
