Bob,

Compaq removed $13 worth of DRAM to make sure the 180MHz underperforms the 166MHz MMX box.

I don't think Compaq will be under preassure to do anything like that in the future. According to several reports, majority of sub-$1,000 PCs will be non-Intel.

I think Compaq makes more money on Presario 2200 than on Intel based Presarios. Not just % higher margin, but I think higher $ margin on a less expensive machine. (since I am beginning to see machines for $799 and $899 sporting Intel chips and at least $150 worth of components MediaGX replaces.
