Land_lubber,

Lower prices and lower production costs are why the industry is making more money now. The sub $1000 (and even lower) PC is why the industry is booming right now. If prices go back up, demand will slow.

If AMD is forced out of the CPU business, it will be terrible for the semi industry, actually. No one will push Intel to make faster chips, and prices for CPUs will firm, ending the sub-$500 computer. This would dramatically decrease sales for all sorts of semiconductors, and especially for DRAM.
