McMannis - Looks like AMD is REALLY LOSING the low end - Compaq is announcing a Pentium /// Internet PC for only $499.

The silver and black device, which weighs just over 10 pounds and is only 40 percent as large as the conventional beige box PC, is designed as a desk-side computer and runs Intel Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) latest Pentium III chips.

I think Intel's low manufacturing costs are coming into play here !

What's the point? After the last several quarters, does anyone really want this market? $499 for a box that contains the "latest Pentium III chips." Sounds like Intel's ASPs are headed downward. I didn't see the Celeron mentioned....did you?
