Ok, I have a minute so let me continue on the Dell catalog.

The first product in the catalog is the Dimension desktop series:

Processor........Pentium2.......Pentium2.....Pentium2....Pentium2
Proc. speeed.....450mhz.........450mhz.......450mhz......450mhz
disk drive.......17.2g..........14.4g........14.4g.......12.9
dram.............256mb..........128mb........128mb.......128mb
display..........15" flat.......21"..........19".........17"
price............3449...........2799..........2499.......2199

The point I am trying to bring out is the first four processors are the same. Yet the drive drops off in size. The dram drops too but not as steeply. The display option is on a steep grade. To me this shows a cpu hungry public. Like people are ok with less dd and less other options for lower price. Is 17.2 gig the largest qualified at Dell?

If the situation was reversed, with the top four offerings having the same disk, but lower clock speeds on the cpu, I would say the public was disk hungry. The public is taking the bigger disks because they are available. And good common sense as killer app may come along. But this anecdotal evidence tells me it isn't the priority.
