Intel has too much invested in the (Pentium) x86 market : to go changing things. I am going more lukewarm on my "Intel will starve StrongArm" prediction. Intel thinks StrongArm will hedge their bets in the sub-500 PC. So they have to give it some room to grow. But I am aware of the "protect the x86 PC" mentality that goes on there. Reason I am downgrading my prediciton is that the SA-1101 companion chip has got a USB host controller in it. That makes it a much more viable machine, IMHO. Mark
