Ibexx,
Re: <<This has to bode well for Intel, too>>
While my comments don't relate to your reference, perhaps what I am I am relating here bodes well for Intel too.
In one more week I will be a ex-486-66, 16 MB RAM, 2.1 GB HD, 33kz modem user - also with no sound & no CD. On Tuesday, I gave myself a $2500 birthday present and ordered a 450 MHz PII with 128 MB RAM, 14 GB HD, 8 MB AGP SDRAM, zip drive, DVD, 56 kz modem and BA speakers and subwoofer.
Last week I picked up a 19" monitor for $500.
All I have to say is if you remember that the number of installed 486 users still numbered north of 50 million as of a year or so ago, at current price points current systems are becoming irresistible.
Bodes well for Q398 & Q498, wouldn't you say?
