Joe, Re: Adoption of x86 involves cost savings, so when you replace a $100,000 RISC system with $20,000 system, the x86 market does not realize dollar market share proportional to unit market share.

It ought to. For every loss like you describe, RISC's share of revenue is going to go down, which is going to decrease the TAM and raise the share for x86.
