Ali, why do you suppose Intel just announced this when they already had one? Maybe Intel didn't know their AGP port was just a PCI to PCI bridge. <ggg> EP <http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/cs052098.HTM>

COmputer Shopper Editor's 1st PC Picks: 200 MHz-K6 Presario 2240 Finally, if you want a functional PC as your first for the kids or a second for yourself, you'll want to read Bill O'Brien's review of the Compaq Presario 2240. The 2240 is Compaq's latest effort in the under-$1000 arena, and it's the best one yet. O'Brien discovered that it has more to offer than a lower price--you'll also get a 200MHz AMD K6 processor, an expandable design, and solid video and sound. netbuyer.zdnet.com

Ali - Re: "That paper wants to create an image that Intel is competing on fair manufacturing grounds when in the reality their success is built on public deception, theft of design ideas, and marketing lies." Sure Ali - AMD is losing money and you are resorting to EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES! The point is SIMPLE - AMD is losing money on every processor they sell. Their ASP's were over $100/chip last quarter. Thus, their costs were OVER $100/chip, since they claimed all other divisions were about break even. Simple math - maybe too complex for you to handle.
