Kevin, if I recall correctly, Microprocessor Report once said that the cost to manufacture each Xeon is in the low to mid-$300 range. Oh, and just to be nitpicky, I'm very sure that the Slot 2 cartridge costs more than $10 a pop. Going from socket 370 to slot 1 Celeron adds about $10, and that's just an addition of a daughtercard. Then you have to throw in a gargantuan slot 2 cartridge. And then you toss in the heatsink and fan. Not the piddly $10 retail fan, but a beefier one since cooling the Xeon is a big deal, if you know what I mean. Like I said, it's a nitpick in the big picture, but a major nitpick. Tenchusatsu
