Re: "The point I have been trying to make is that Intel can not survive in it's current form selling CPUs for $80. The overhead of the company is much too high." I think Intel can survive, but the Celeron at $80 has got to be hurting them. The key to Intel's success is the Xeon. If you think that AMD is going to make inroads in Xeon markets, then Intel doesn't look to great. Personally, I'll be a little surprised if AMD has much success, at least for the next year. Kevin

Scumbria - <Intel can not survive in it's current form selling CPUs for $80. The overhead of the company is much too high.> Intel has Xeons. Intel has Xeons. Say this over and over and maybe what "the intellabees" are saying will sink in. Of course Intel could survive on Celerons. Its structure, however, would obviously be much different than it is today. Intel massively restructured in 1985-86 when it exited the DRAM business. However, I don't see anyone knocking Intel out of the Xeon business anywhere on the horizon. The desKtop 7 wants to get there, granted, but it'll be a while before they even begin to compete here. PB
