Intel should have acquired Broadcom and it would have had the industry leading position in both PC and network chips. Will someone else take out BRCM now? I can't imagine IBM, Cisco or Motorola letting Intel own this space also. Broadcom looks like a target if these three firms have their druthers. If not then I think Broadcom must get very aggressive -- a huge battle is brewing. ZeroLogik: Reviews & Recommendations Archives:: Go out and buy one of these in the largest size you can afford.
