Cirruslvr, Re: "I haven't see any Winchip systems, so I don't know if I will see any Rise systems. Winchips have a few vendors at pricewatch and Rise isn't even listed. Rise says they expect their chips to go into the low end PCs, but the very low end is already 300MHz." The real market for Rise is low cost far east. They are supported by both TSMC and UMC who are the worlds two biggest foundries. Basically the threat here is Taiwan Inc. In a few years by teaming up with other Taiwan players: chip set guys- Taiwan dominated. graphics-tbd. motherboard-Taiwan dominated. DRAM-major Taiwan focus. It's easy to see who will dominate the low end $200 PC market in a few years. Regards, Kash J.
