Here's a sweet deal on DRAM if you design in the x86. BTW, bundling is how they later killed chipset vendor VLSI. VLSI had the cost advantage in motherboard chipsets, but Intel put together bundling deals that took that away. The early days of Wintel really was the wild, wild west.

Uh, what alternatives did anyone have to the x86?  I think Intel can 
thank IBM for making them successful.  That and knowing how to make 
chips.  You have to give Intel credit for doing some things right.
