Kevin - Re: "Intel is lowering prices on cacheless Celorons because:"

OK.

Why does AMD keep lowering their K6-2 prices? If demand is going up, they should maintain their pricing - instead they keep losing more and more money.

Can you explain this?

Selling at less than marginal cost (AMD knows all about this).

This is a good point. If AMD was selling every chip they could make when they had production problems, why did they have to "dump" older .35 micron chips in the second quarter? Were these chips produced in the first or second quarter?
