Kealoha - Re: " What would the manufactured breakeven price be for a sub-$1000 PC? When the chip maker (say AMD and CYRIX)and the manufacturer would both make a "decent" return?" For a $1000 PC, the CPU supplier can make a "decent" profit. Intel does by selling into this market. The key issue is the COST of CPU production. If AMD and Cyrix can produce CPUs for $25 to $35 and sell them for $80 to $100, they can make money. Currently, they can't do this. Paul
