Along the line of drbes reply - I see Intel getting more and more aggressive in valuespace. And - maybe not yet at Gateways, but in many lineups in Europe - Athlon64 playing the dominant role in performance-segment of consumer-lineups.

On a sidenote (on ed's piece) he really seems to believe Intels 5xx line is already done. Which is an utterly misunderstanding imo. I see 6xx overtaking 5xx not anytime soon. I'm not even sure it will happen this year. And 5xx does not have EMT64 capability as well - as pointed out already. Which is all no problem for the corporate fort to defend for Intel. While in consumerspace 5xx will be relegated to value as soon as Win64 is out. Unless Intel will shift gear and make EMT64 5xx as well. Which it probably could from Q3 this year. It will still suck, but nobody will know before 64 apps are out.
