Wayne: Although not requested, I can comment from monitoring retail front. I have not seen an uptick in dram prices for a 32mb or 64mb upgrades (pc100 compatible stuff). Typical prices retail to consumer are averaging about 30$ for 32mb, and hasnt changed for the past month or so by my reckoning. I expect that we have consumed a large quantity of inventory in the rush to build the "free pc's" .. My guess is most of these are pulling in purchases which would have been done at a later date. So lots of low priced unit sales followed by a drought. I expect that emachines, microwerks will probably do gangbuster sales and take market share from the "biggies" on the retail front. I also see low growth for corporate America as there are few applications (other than running the bloated operating system) which require anything beyond a Pentium 100 anyway. imo
