For what it's worth, Intel has said Pentium II sales were on target.

>>>>
Intel, whose chips power 85% of the world's PCs, suggested its woes were largely due to a temporary inventory glut and all but ruled out the sub-$1,000 category as a culprit. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel said its top-priced Pentium II chip is enjoying the fastest roll-out of any microprocessor in company history.
"If you were seeing a shift to the sub-$1,000 category," said Intel spokesman Howard High, "then you would think the Pentium II wouldn't be doing so well, because it really doesn't go in that category."

The good news for hardware makers is that nobody seemed to be fretting about overall consumer and corporate demand for computers. Executives at big distributors, including Ingram Micro Inc. () in Santa Ana and Merisel Inc. () in El Segundo, said the market remains strong.

"We are not at all alarmed," said Ingram President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Rodek.
