<Intel started the war against Compaq. The "Intel Inside" branding made the Compaq name no different from anyone else. Compaq had no choice but to look for alternatives.> You'll have to explain a little more. Dell and HP are doing pretty well making a name for themselves regardless of "Intel Inside." Tenchusatsu

Scumbria, Don't disagree that a strong intel brand enhances that value of 2nd tier OEMs, but it appears that Compaq's attempt to set Intel straight has backfired... again. Maybe Compaq should focus on creating their own value vs trying to reduce Intel's. I believe they have a lot to offer the market, but spending all their time and effort trying to reduce the price of the CPU and the value of Intel is a distraction. Nitt
