From what I recall, the Nasdaq100 leans a bit more towards the "high growth" stocks. They seemed to have adjusted downward the weighting of stocks like Dell, WCOM and increased the weightings of those with greater rates of growth-or what they thought would be high growth stocks (jdsu, qcom, jnpr etc..). That is why the market caps don't agree with their representation in the Nasdaq100.
Of course the weighting depends mostly on stock performance once the number of shares of each stock are set but the Nasdaq people.

Nasdaq100 tends to mirror momentum tech funds.

I believe that is why they call it something like "adjusted market weighted".

BTW--going to look into it a little more. Do notice that stocks like AMGN are much more influential in this index than they were a year ago. The weighting earlier posted are correct it seems as of last week.
