Mohan, sorry if I offended you. Arrogance may be too strong a word. What I was getting at is that Intel seemed to think that it's chips were synonymous with the market. Since I don't follow AMD, and generally find "analysts" irrelevant to intelligent decision making you could well be correct. Dell's decision to not compete in the sub $1000 market is entirely different than Intel's decision. The sub $1000 machine is a retail entry, aimed at first-time buyers. Dell's decision was based on a consistent strategy of avoiding that niche. Intel, on the other hand, was the dominant player in that market. I think they probably felt that P166 chips would be sufficient for their continued dominance based on their misperception of the success of the "Intel Inside" campaign. TTFN, CTC
