Paul, How things have changed. From AMD and Cyrix just happy to get a chip in a tier one to now dominating the sub-1200 market. It's almost sad when you have to bold the part about Compaq offering a Celeron system. Not that it doesn't show that there will be a 300MHz Celeron mind you but that Intel has turned into a "me too" company with this dumbed down chip. It's like, hey guys, can I come to the party with my sister? Also notable in the article is the K6-266 based system to be offered by HP. Yet another "Intel-only" boxmaker bites the bullet. This is getting to be a habit. That leaves Sony, Dell and Gateway. After Gateway falls that will leave "high end" Michael Dell...and Intel will feed him chips at nice prices, BTW. Sony gets their boxes made by Intel so they will likely remain loyal for a while too. List of former "Intel only" retail top tier boxmakers. Compaq-defected IBM-defected Packard Bell-defected Dell-loyal Gateway-loyal, soon to defect IMHO NEC-defected Fujitsu-defected Hewlett Packard-defecting Acer-defected CTX-defected before becoming top tier Sony?-loyal by default
