Jim re: <Never satisfied are you? If I knew all the answers I would not have to do estimates. <G>> Of course they're just estimates. That's what I'm interested in. (We're all making estimates). DELL has for years designed its own motherboards for the Optiplex line of PC's. Dell is making it's own VC820/840 mobo's? Reference? These will not show up in the 820 or 840 motherboard count. These constitute about 60% of the desktops if you take Dave's numbers seriously. I don't think that's correct. OptiPlex includes the 810 and 440BX. What percentage do you estimate are VC820? TIA
