Jim - Re: "The retail flyers in the Sunday paper are nearly 66% K-6 systems now." Then how do you explain this? techweb.com " The average price of a PC sold at retail in April increased $18 to $1,195, from $1,177 in March. The average price in February was $1,155. The increase came, in part, due to the arrival of 350-MHz and 400-MHz Pentium II-based PCs, which boosted the share of PC revenue from PCs priced between $2,500 and $3,000 to 9.4 percent in April, from 2 percent in March. Unit sales for PCs sold in that price range represented only 4.3 percent. The onset of high-end Pentium II PCs contributed to a 6 percent gain in sales shares for Pentium II PCs, to 49.4 percent in April. AMD K6-based PCs saw their share of retail sales fall to 21.7 percent, from 23.5 percent in March. K6-based PCs last outsold Pentium II-based PCs in January. The early favorable sales of high-end Pentium II PCs also contributed to the ongoing success ofHewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer. Paul
