greg - <I believe if Intel independently determines to raise prices without colluding with Amd to do so that would be perfectly legal.> Of course, I agree. But the tone of the author's statement, intended or not, has a sort of "let's play ball" implication that I felt the need to respond to. <However, it does break one of the most basic tenets of business: Never give a sucker an even break!!> I believe Intel is responding to market conditions in an aggressive manner. Intel did not start a price war, it's competitors did. Intel as late as a year ago was the source of some relatively high profile criticism for it's business plan, and even criticized for alledgedly artificially inflating prices. Now that Intel is responding to the "Value Segment", with products that have apparently gained market acceptance, I have very little tolerance for statements that indicate Intel is somehow lowering their prices too much.
