Re: (Speaking of Intel lowering prices to recapture market share) "This strategy would, no doubt, succeed. However it is illegal. " I see you too suffer from this delusion. It is not illegal to pass on the affects of manufacturing efficiency to your customers, especially in the face of predatory pricing from AMD. You guys kept claiming that AMD would keep Intel's pricing lower and now you got what you kept asking for. The fact that Intel's competition cannot achieve the same low product costs does not make Intel's pricing illegal. Try as you and Scumbria may, you can't just repeat this over and over and make it true. Funny how Intel can pass on their success to their customers and you scream, while AMD passes on their failures to their shareholders and you drop your pants and line up for more. EP
