July 29 - I'm no longer sure these lists mean much, Certainly AMD was all but gone from advertising during much of Q2, yet they sold record units. So, though it may not mean much....
b=Best Buy c=Circuit City Kmart=Kmart Sears=Sears
Note that some details (flat screen monitor, amount of memory, better printer, etc) means the relative value of these systems is not completely reflected below.
This list reflects other rebates, but not the $200 to $400 dollar one from AOL/Compuserve.
bto means I added $100 to bto prices to reflect a shipping/inconvenience estimate.
MSN means I subtracted $100 to reflect value of 1 year of Internet
