<Compaq builds their own motherboards. There probably isn't a lot of difference in manufacturing cost between K7 and PIII systems.>

Yeah, I guess that 200 MHz bus comes for free, right? If they even debut at 200 MHz, that is.

And don't forget that Pentium III motherboards are pretty high volume and have been out there for a while, while K7 motherboards are very new, very low volume, and will thus be rather expensive for the next year or so.

And what does Compaq have to do with all of this?
