Jim, look closely at the data over the past several months. PC prices have stabilized or stayed flat, not gone down. A big reason is because PII systems have come down to $1200 on the low-end. All Intel is now doing is obsoleting the lower speed PII and replacing them with a higher-speed PII for the low-end. Thus, I don't see average PC prices dropping below $1000 anytime soon. Why? Because many consumers will spend a few hundred dollars more to get the latest and greatest PII. In fact, one could argue that PC prices might go up some depending on how much marketing Intel does on PII vs. Celeron. And, of course, this strategy is devastating for AMD for the obvious reasons (i guess not so obvious for AMD stockholders).
