INTC has the low cost chip and chipset to compete in this and other areas. You have seen one of the processors. You have not seen the Chipset yet, but you will shortly. This will bring them down to the < $40 BOM that is needed for set Tops and other platforms

Gene - Re: Mendocino Packaging Intel will be offering the Mendocino version of Celeron in BOTH a Slot 1 configuration and a PGA package - with a different socket than a Pentium MMX (Socket 7) because the Celeron/P6 bus is completely different from the Pentium bus. Intel will be offering the Mendocino in the Slot 1 package first, ahead of the PGA package. This will permit customers to use current motherboards - Pentium II but with a slightly different plastic retaining housing - to secure the bare Celeron board. The cheaper PGA version of Mendocino will be offered second, and will be targeted at new motherboards, designed for even lower cost. Paul
