Haven't seen ads for either Intel or AMD in the local papers for the 850-1000 MHz computers. The Costco item is interesting but remember that retail is AMDs only outlet, and I've heard that business is 80% of the PC market.

By the way, I shop in Costco, and I have seen AMD and Intel PCs on the racks. Not the most likely place I'd guess for civilians to shop for the highest end PCs. I have bought an epson printer there, but the PC sales look pretty quiet there and I check every time I go. I might go there for a low end, bottom of the price chain PC, but it would be pretty surprising to say great per store sales on the highest end. Ah, but I don't want to reason from a sample of one, so congrats to AMD for nailing the bargain hunting, price conscious COSTCO account.

Regards,
Burt

Scumbria, <I guess I'm wrong. Apparently the market is flooded with 850-1000 MHz PIII parts and systems.>

Wasn't Burt just talking about a digital vs. analog mind? I guess in your digital mind, it seems that either Intel has zero yield above 800 MHz, or Intel is flooding the market with said parts. Can't there be a shade of grey somewhere in between?
