Scumbria, >>>Intel is taking drastic measures to kill off AMD, and they should pay the consequences for it.<<< Sounds like maybe the gummint should step in like they did with Chrysler years ago, huh? Anyone ever hear of Darwin? Was he a bad guy for his theories? Tony

I'm sorry. I just don't get it. If it costs 50-90 bucks to make a part, there is no reason to not sell it for $100. Just because the market will pay $500 for a fast part, doesn't mean that a part that only runs 90% as fast should sell for $450. You price the slower part wherever the market is willing to pay for it. If you can increase your market by lowering your prices and volume makes up for it, you go for it. It only makes sense. You don't keep your prices artificially high just so that the competition can stay in business despite themselves. MikeyB
