M,

Price differences in 'published' material. Printed material advertising has to be committed to as much as 90 days in advance, and care has to be taken that a product isn't underpriced (costs more to produce than offered for sale for) or overpriced, costs more to deliver than the customer is willing to pay. Many time you will call and find that instead of the 6.4G hard disk advertised the system may be delivered with an 8.4G hard disk at no extra charge!

As for the speed differences, now I haven't looked at the specific comparison that you are referencing, but if you are talking about a 210 vs. 208 - who cares?

As an aside, were the HDs the same model? Access time? T to T access? Sometimes a score is influenced by the I/O speed. Another, was one SDRAM and the other EDO?

Just a question?

Regards,

Ken
