So that's why AMD didn't gain market share when they jacked up prices on the Excellent X2? See, I think some of you guys are trying to have have you cake and eat your cake too, it doesn't work!

Plus, you don't loose sales when your competition raises their prices a smilar amount as well. AMD doesn't need more volume as much as they need higher ASP's. AMD can't create the extra volume to keep price the same and turn a profit worth talking about. Folks thinking killing rebates and Intel paying some large fine/s will lower prices are fooling themselves. This whole case is to get prices higher, NOT lower. Here's the shocker, even as I post this. I hope I'm as wrong as two right shoes
