Paul, RE:"My guess is HP is buying K6-2's for $85 - $110. They figure they can make money selling cheap PCs with these cheap CPUs - even if AMD loses money on the CPU sale." Well, that's your guess and I appreciate it...but still it's a "guess". Even at $85-$110 AMD would be making good profits, BTW. The thing is that HP can likely buy Celerons for the same price or less. So why use the K6-2? Could it be the 3DNOW! that the Celeron doesn't have as Maxwell suggests...<G> Jim
