Craig - RE: "Their logic is that it costs more to call out a serviceperson to "open" the box than the PC is worth. As cheap as CPUs and mobos may be, it still costs $200+ to get someone out there, $200 more to get them to open the box, and $400 to get them to close it back up."

My logic says the computer maker's reputation figures a greater deal to the reliability of a system. Because of this, it may not be until the beginning of next year when the Athlon makes its way into business PCs because then it will have a more mature platform and Y2K worries will be over.

I guess we will have to see if people change their train of thought.
