I really believe that Intel will make Celeron the chip of choice in the sub-$1,000 market and perhaps even the sub-600 market. Gary, I think this goes without saying, for the sub 1K and sub 800. I don't think so for sub 600. This will eventually be only Cyrix and IDT IMO. AMD can't make money there. No way, no how. INTC won't even try. Except for one thing I read recently. INTC typically uses older fab lines (like .5 and .35 now) for chipset, embedded CPUs, FLASH, etc. I read that they could re-intro a die shrunken Pentium MMX (under a new brand, of course) when enough .25 capacity comes on line and make good margins even selling a $50 CPU. Might actually make sense. Gary
