Here is one of them, from a post on the CPQ thread... There are also models that have the 266mhz AMD processor for a bit less. As for Ibexx' comment that this is coming out of AMD's pocket, true, but it's also coming out of our pockets as Intel shareholders, in the form of reduced margins on Intel's low end microprocessors... The featured configuration here is quite adequate for surfing the net.... Oh well, at least I get the benefit (hopefully) as a CPQ shareholder. <ggg>
