Jay, >>>That may be so, but the low price and extra features of the AMD box smack of "loss-leader" to me. Blue light special, anyone?<<< Good point. There is no question that AMD is using kamikaze marketing tactics to get market share. I guess their dilemma is do you want to lose money by bombing price, or by not bombing price and selling a lot less? Only problem I see with your loss leader analogy is that it is a ploy to get you into the store and you buy a lot more other stuff. Not sure that happens with a "loss leader" computer. Tony
