A summary of Niles' downgrade:

"We believe that the recent supply issues caused by the Taiwan earthquake and Camino delay will result in revenue growth being less than expected.... As a result, we are lowering revenue growth estimate from 12% to 9% q/q for Q3 and from 11% to 9% for Q4.

"We also believe margins are under tremendous pressure given the price premiums being paid. 64 Megs of DRAM alone cost about $40 more today versus three months ago, of you can get them.... We are now modeling a 100 bps gross margin decline over the next two quarters versus 50bps.

"We are lowering our EPS estimate from $0.77 to $0.74 for CY99 but maintaining our CY00 revenue estimate and EPS estimate of $1.04. We believe more details will be available at the Dell analyst meeting on October 7. We hope that is the extent of the damage.
