That is interesting. I have a feeling tho that it isn't going to help their (already terrible) margins much on that part!

Nevertheless, nice to see them not let that stop them --penetration is more important right now, I think, in that area for them.

HP and Gateway/EMachines have been pimping the Xpress 200 IGP in machines. Any reason people think that may be?

Agreed, however the margins should begin to improve significantly in 2006 as they transition these chipsets to 110nm.
