RE: <<no low COST Intel chip to compete in $800 boxes>> While these Celeron chips are low-priced (less than $100), they are not low cost chips compared to the competition: 1. Slot 1 circuit board & packaging costs $15 higher than K6-2 2. Die size 131mm vs 80mm. Even if yield 75% vs 55%, still uses more silicon The FTC may have something to say about Intel using their profits in one monopoly market (servers) to subsidize losses in a new non-monopoly market (sub-$1000 PC's).
