Kevin - Re: "Sell the product in the US at one dollar above variable cost to satisfy the antitrust laws (note that technically they would be losing money on thechip because the fixed costs wouldn't be included) and sell for less outside the country when necessary" I think your "head-in-the-sand" analysis is rather juvenile. Intel has already stated that the BULK of their sales are through INTERNET TRANSACTIONS ! Every LARGE purchaser of Intel components has access to the SAME PRICING STRUCTURE of Intel components via the Internet. The Purchaser could be located in Texas, Manila, Shanghai or the rented AMD facilities in Sunnyvale. Paul
