Paul, <<With Compaq the only major OEM selling these AthWIPES at retail (IBM has been pulling out of all retail activities), you are telling me that the ATHWIPES are OUTSELLING all the Pentium III's!

Thanks for the humor !>>

At the local Fry's, I saw five Athlon systems on display -- IBM, Compaq and a house brand -- and only one HP Coppermine system. The latter featured pathetic 8M integrated graphics memory, not a good selling point for a $2,500 machine.

OTOH, there were three PIII-500 coppermine notebooks at $3,XXX.
