Compaq Computer supplied the two best-selling PCs to retailers in December, and combined with Packard Bell NEC to claim seven of the top 10 SKUs for the month, according to market research company PC Data,
based here.
Compaq's Presario 5170, sporting a 350MHz Pentium II processor, 10GB hard drive, Zip drive, and an average selling price of $1,245, was the best-selling home computer in December, with 8 percent of the retail market by unit share, PC Data reported. Compaq's Presario 5150, with a 350MHz Advanced Micro Devices K6-2 chip, 8GB hard drive, and an average price of
$1,045, ranked second, accounting for 7.1 percent of the PCs retailers sold in December.
{=============================}
Intel had 4 of the TOP 10 best selling RETAIL PCs in December - AMD had only 2.
