Bill, >>>Never. intel would sell them for $500+ and make 10-15 billion a year.<<< That's BS. Even before AMD had a competitive product, Intel had regular, quarterly price reductions to pass on product yield and other cost improvements to their customers. Before the K6, you could get a damn good computer for $2K that had more power on the desk than mainframes of ten years before that. Did you know that, if cars had kept up with computers in terms of cost , speed and reliability, over the last thirty years, you could buy a car for $10, that you could drive safely at 500 mph? Instead, cars have only gotten more expensive, and I'm not sure about their reliability. OTOH, computers have gotten phenomenally more powerful, cheaper and reliable thanks to Intel and a few others companies. Until the car's equivalent of software crashed. Tony
