The rapid descent in those RAM/HD prices enabled plausibly featured PCs to approach or pierce the $1K barrier. Suddenly, non-toy PCs could be had cheap that were respectable configurations a year earlier. That's what the price drops enabled. Then the consumer box makers looked for what else could be lower in cost and voila, they started to look for lower CPU costs real hard. It was the confluence of falling chip, memory and drive products simultaneously that shifted the center of gravity of both consumer and business PC prices sharply south.
