Paul, Thanx for the input. Regarding market confusion, I think the new products are coming out way too fast for the market. In the good old days when new CPU's were introduced every 12 - 18 months the buy decision was a lot easier. If you wanted/needed the latest technology you bought it now, and planned to upgrade in 1 « - 2 years. But if I were in the mode to buy a desk-top or notebook today, I know I can either wait a few months and get a PII/333 system for about half price, (or if I want to spend the same bucks get a PII/450 100FSB); or wait a month and buy a PII notebook for less than the recently introduced Tillamook, (and with better performance). And I think a lot of users see the market changes that are taking place and are confused by it. And the auto analogy isn't a good one. For example, most companies make major design changes to their models about every five years, and people expect the prices to go up, not down.
