PB, I also saw the HP's PIII 800 in San Diego Fry's also. :) There were also few other notables, HP's AMD K62 500 (first time in a long time that HP had a K62 unit) It was also the strongest AMD showing for at least 8 months. Lots of AMD K62 and none lower that 450 MHz (exept the two AMD based Emachines). No other OEM beside HP had anything above 550 MHz PIII. Athlon on 5 machines, no increase from last month. I also checked the latest issue of Computer edge. Here are the notables: I notice a huge change from 2 1/2 months ago ( I kept that issue and compared). The number of AMD based machines offered have gone up substantially! I would say that about 40% of the advertised systems are now AMD based. Two vendors who used to be solely Intel, now offer the Athlon. One shop is now AMD only with AMD rep showing up there once every other Saturday. They seemed to be geared toward small business based on their networking offering. Very few shops offered anything higher that PIII 600 (this issue is only 3 days old!) while most had Athlon 700 MHz. About the 1/3 also offered the 750 MHz. AMD is looking real good. Mani
