Paul,

Notice they are doing this with an Intel MMX processor. Remember back when Compaq announced they were staying with Intel and wouldn't use the K6. That is when Intel gave Compaq an incredible discount on trailing edge Pentium with MMX (166 for around $70). In return, Compaq agreed to not use the K6 in their Presario SKUs. This sounds like unfair trade practices to me. Since then, Intel has had to lower their Pentium with MMX pricing to Packard Bell, Dell, and Gateway (the other Intel houses). But there's really only one company with the lowest price and that's Compaq. That's because they are the #1 PC manufacturer in the world.
