Petz, Thanks for the report. I will update the data I have (Computer currents - Bay Area) to see how much it may have changed since I stopped monitoring(5 issues ago) Ccurrent advertisement activity. Tha Athlon proliferation into SD shops is slowly but surely moving up - 76% from 50% in 3 months is not bad for a new architecture. Recent price cuts may provide the required boost to reach even higher levels of proliferation. Regards, Goutama

Summary of systems being sold in San Diego by small computer stores which build their own computers. Based on advertise- ments in the weekly ComputorEdge flyer -- a free publication in San Diego county, weighted by the number of locations of each company. Small ads advertising a single system are excluded, also system configurations without pricing. I missed last Friday's issue, so this is 3 weeks since my last update. Pub Date: 2/11 1/21 1/7 12/31 12/17 12/10 11/19 11/05 10/22 # stores: 29 34 35 35 37 34 32 34 32 Athlon: 83% 76% 71% 69% 62% 68% 66% 62% 50% Ath>=750: 52% 24% 23% 14% 14% 3% 0%.. Ath800: 14% 3% 0%..

K6-2: 52% 68% 71% 66% 73% 71% 72% 82% 81% K6-3: 31% 59% 49% 40% 49% 65% 53% 68% 62% AMD fastest system: 72% 65% 57% ??... Trends ------ WOW! Over half of all stores are selling the Athlon 750 or faster, and Athlon penetration has reached 83%. In this issue of ComputorEdge, the first 13 ads all featured Athlon systems. In 72% of the stores, and Athlon system is the fastest system (in MHz) you can buy, and in another 10% of stores, Athlon ties the PIII in MHz. Stores selling Coppermines (PIII>600 MHz) went way up this week (52% from 24%), but every store selling Coppermine also sells Athlon and, on average, they are 73 MHz faster. Stores selling K6's dropped significantly this week, but this may be exaggerated by the general absense of low-end dealers from this issue. K6-3's continued to disappear, while Celerons are not even shown since they are sold in 97% of stores. Petz
