Joe - By giving the design to the PCI Special Interest Group (SIG), the inventors allow anyone to design components to use the technology. They don't have to sell the chips to Dell, but Intel certainly will. It's just a time to market issue, Dell will certainly be able to use PCI-X when chips to support it become commercially available.

RE: PCI-X and exclusion of Dell If the did PCI-X firms attempt to exclude or overcharge any other competitor or customer, they will violate Sherman Act Sec.1 which makes a felony of "any contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade." Such explicit collusion in price fixing or market division is a "per se violation", which means it cannot be justified by collateral or incidental benefits to society. Did anyone mention jail time? injunctions? triple damages? and, most important "attorneys' fees?"
