Only thing likely to change that is competition from AMD. Since there's already competition in the 500MHz-800MHz range, they will be cheaper in that range, unless the performance is very convincing. Even if that were the case, it wouldn't last long before a comparable chip would be released from AMD. Thank you for the info on double pumping. I think I understand the concept, at least partially.
