Scumbria Re <<I disagree. Intel's investors have very high expectations. The company can lose billions of dollars of market capitalization in a matter of a few hour>> Well, OK. I was talking more about the company and you were talking about the stock holders. Low CPU pricing hurts AMD since it completely eliminates their chances of being profitable. Intel will be profitable regardless. If AMD successfully enters the high end market with the K7, it will be whole different story. Mani
