Elmer, I don't think it's a sinister plot at all, I just marvelling at it's stupidity. They obviously had a Yousef clone in their marketing dept. who figured that AMD would never ship anything meaningfull above 333 by year end and came up with the brilliant Celeron strategy. Now it's backfiring as AMD positions itself more and more against the PII's due to their new clock speeds. Your point about demand being higher at low end then high end means that Intel's revenues may be being skewed to low end as well. As an AMD stockholder I am glad that they are NOT selling 400Mhz and 450 Mhz celerons this quarter. As an Intel investor, I would be quite upset. Regards, Kash
