"It makes good sense to be doing that," Peck said. "Intel's highest priority is to move users to the Pentium II as quickly as possible, and if they can't do that based on technical merit alone, then they'll do it through pricing."
======================

This makes sense to me. Tomorrow I am helping a lady friend get a PC for her kids and I can't see paying For a PII when a P5/200 MMX is plenty fast for doing homework or surfing the net if you get a good video card. Seems we need some more killer apps and more internet bandwidth to make these really fast machines needed for the average homeowner. Now, if the processor is only $400, why must I pay about $400 more to get a PII rather than a P5 in a market with so little margins? Are the other chips free or is this the only place PC makers get profit?

I guess I am asking for a link on component pricing of a PC.

thanks
