RE: the new HP business PCs I think these will be hot sellers, but considering AMD processors are not being used in HP business offerings, they will most likely cannibalize higher-end Intel based systems.

re:If Intel takes away the bottom end and the top end at HP, they will SQUEEZE AMD in the middle. I suspect AMD will be issuing some additional price reductions in the not-too-distant future. I agree. AMD's stance so far has been to price K6-2 against PII. They'll be changing their tune in less than 3 weeks when Celeron A is released. <ggg> Why would any big OEM in their right mind pay more for an AMD chip than an Intel chip with comparable performance? There is also no way any big OEM is going to burn marketing dollars to promote 3D-NOW. joey
