Paul - RE: "Note the following: "The Presario 5600 Internet PC Series offers the customer the choice of the Intel Pentium III or the AMD-K6-III processor. "" Your point being?????? This just shows Compaq thinks the K6-III is worthy of being in the same model line of PCs as the PIII. Maybe this will help you bring your point across. "In a first for Advanced Micro Devices, the chipmaker sold more desktop PC processors than Intel during January, according to an industry survey released Friday. AMD (AMD)'s AMD-K6 processors accounted for 43.9 percent of all desktop PC chip sales, PC Data said. Intel (INTC) had a 40.3 percent share of unit sales and Cyrix had a 15.8 percent share. On a day in which most tech shares fell, Intel's stock tumbled 7 13/16 to 119 15/16. AMD shares were flat at 18 1/8." cbs.marketwatch.com Why don't tell us how this is good for Intel, Paul. You don't have any type of point to make, do you???
