Guys !

Has the 386 price came down yet ?  I believe I remember that before
Am386 hit the market, everyone was moarning that Intel was monopolising
the whole 386 market and charging a premium for the chip. Everyone was
hoping that when AMD enter the market, the price will drop substantially
and that we will not have a chip with an obscene price.

Is the Am386 officially in the market yet ? I am still seeing very high
market price for Intel 386-33 here in Singapore.

Are we having a situation where, "Instead of one company milking the
industry, now we have two to do the job ???".   :-(
