Re: "If a reader wanted to make an unreasonable estimate, that's certainly his or her prerogative, but I don't understand why someone would want to be that biased for the point of the exercise. Maybe I'm missing something." You're missing the fact that Paul's brain was removed and replaced with Intel inside back in the days of 286, leaving him an underpowered, MMX-less version of Homer Simpson. <GG> Kevin

Tad, P.S. to Scumbria - How's that for being condescending? Paul's position and style is quite well defined and understood. However, I view you as a more objective source. So I was a little disappointed when you chose to "downgrade" this central issue of Intel's costs. I have many years of experience in the microprocessor business, and have a keen understanding that a company has to sell microprocessors at a much higher price than their "cost" to be profitable.

Tad, Re: Actually, what's missing is the cute little "Intel Inside" logo from the ad. How could that be? The 5600s has been on their WEB since K6-III is released. That could mean they can have volume now. Gary
