"People who want high performance systems will be using separate parts for the indefinite future."

Two key phrases here - high performance, indefinite future

High performance is subjective. I help lots of people buy computers (major in computer science and you'll become the 'friend' that everyone calls when they need help) and I'll have you know that just about all of them are extremely happy with the Cyrix and AMD 300Mhz computers that I've been lining them up with.

The emachines 333 M2 system is down to $599 WITH printer and monitor. The only thing they really skimp on is the speakers. The only people who need more than this are the ones that do the 3D games and even then a good AMD or Celeron system with a good 3D card can be had for $150 to $200 more.

I honestly can't see most people spending more than $50 for a processor by years end.
