Scumbria, I don't think it will pay off in the future. What the low-priced thing has done is to make PC's a commodity that can be assembled by almost any school boy, leaving no profit for the box makers unless they have a supply of cheaper parts. Read Michael's book about what he expects from PC's. Compaq could buy up AMD and stop selling chips to any other PC maker, allowing Intel to protect its margins. Emphasizing Alpha for high end machines. Then Compaq should buy S3 and sabotage Merced. Why am I giving away all this high-powered strategic management advice for free? Forget everything I said. Jerry, Atiq, you are very, very tired, and falling into a deep relaxing sleep ... Just kidding everyone. Move on. There's nothing here. These are not the 'droids we're looking for.
