I'm curious why Intel launched three new 'budget' line chips? The 8600's launch drove down the e8x00 series and when the e7x00 came out I thought they the 'budget' chips. I saw a e7200 for $100 at Microcenter over the weekend. I guess I understand the Q8200 for a mid-quad chip, but what is it I'm missing?
