John - Re: "price hikes are nor driven by component cost, but by reduced competition. IBM, NEC and Packard Bell pulled out of the retail PC market, they accounted for 33.2% of sales, leaving Compaq and HP with the power to raise prices."

Kamikaze pricing isn't good for anyone.

Also remember - Cyrix and IDTi and Rise have essentially exited the CPU market - so pricing pressure on CPUs has also abated.
