Re: "PII is Intel's mainstream processor and will continue to be so for some time now. K6-2 is AMD's mainstream processor, and it runs at higher MHz than Intel's equivalent." The typical consumer out there doesn't know a thing about CPUs. So when he sees that he can buy a K6-2 based machine for X dollars, a PII based machine running 25 MHz slower for X+$200, and a PIII machine running at 25 MHz faster for X+$500, which one do you think he'll buy? This is why AMD will continue to dominate the retail channel. Kevin
