YX, <The message here is clear and loud: demand for K6 based Prosignia Notebook is GOOD.> You are right on the money here. The logic here is simple. Small business market is cost sensitive and somewhere between consumer and business segments with respect to their needs. They buy a lot of white boxes and white box makers have been using the lowest cost processors they can get to get the price advantage. K6 keeps BOM costs low and enable Compaq to compete better with White Box vendors. By having some Celerons and some K6s in their line they cover their bases. Chuck
