Eat your heart out! Although Intel does not set system pricing, it expects systems using the 350MHz or 400MHz Pentium II and corresponding 440BX chip set to fall into the $1,500-to-$2,000 range over the next few months, sources said.
Today, that price range is occupied by 300MHz and 333MHz systems with the 440LX chip set.
In the $1,200-to-$1,500 range, now occupied primarily by 233MHz and 266MHz Pentium II systems, users will be able to buy 300MHz or 333MHz systems with the 440LX chip set, sources said.
On the low end, systems based on the Celeron processor and corresponding 440EX chip set will fall into the $900 range over the next few months, sources said. zdnet.com |
