Paul, I have no use for AMD. All I'm saying is that INTC has got to do something to stop the market share bleeding.

Two years ago everybody laughed at AMD, now for the first time they have sold more CPU's in one month than INTC.

The market for high end CPUs is shrinking while the low end is expanding at a high rate.

Why would a department manager spend money on P-III computers if the only applications his employees work with are Word and Excel?

What is the percentage of users in the business segment of the market who really need a P-III?

Do YOU think a P-III would make you more efficient in your work?
How many people on this thread think they would be able to do significantly more work during an 8 hour day if they had a P-III computer?

Jim

" Pentium III is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over priced. "

Two years ago, the retail price for a Pentium II system (computer, monitor, printer, scanner...) from Compaq was $1999.98. The retail price for the exact same package with a 450 MHz Pentium III is $1999.98.
