Jeff,
Re - "Now I have to read that Intel had its prices "forced down by competition" and "cuts deeper than expected" and other such nonsense. I find that P/MMX-200 going for $210 OEM, $250 boxed, today. The only thing that this press has wrong is PII has a cache and the high end speeds are higher."
Nice research and good memory!
Some people on this thread seem to think they invented the term "price competition" and should win a prize for discussing it.
Glad you pointed this out.
Some are happy buying two low end systems instead of one good system. I wonder if they stack them vertically or horizontally when they use them for multiple applications.
Either way, as bandwith increases and software marches on (larger and larger), price competition which helped to sell more computers, will have made a nice replacement market for Intel to sell to in the years to come. And being profitable, they will be able to do it.... other companies, who lack a strategy, except to cut prices low enough so that someone will buy their product, will probably be out of the picture.
PLEASE keep up the good work,
thanks,
