Mike, DELL's ASP spike was probably due to a change in product mix sales; i.e., a proportionately higher percentage of servers and notebooks. Here's the quote from their press release; "Dell's quarterly increase in products at the core of the fast-growing Internet infrastructure was substantial, including a rise of more than 100 percent in sales of storage products. The company accounted for 40 percent of global industry growth in servers, gaining more than three points of worldwide market share and five full share points in the U.S., as the company again ranked No. 2 in the respective markets. Shipments of PowerEdge servers expanded at two and one-half times the worldwide and U.S. industry rates. Dell Precision workstation volumes were up more than 80 percent, extending the company's leading global market share in that product category and contributing to a 52-percent increase in overall sales of enterprise-class computer systems. In notebook PCs, the separation between Dell and the balance of the industry was even more pronounced. Total first-quarter revenue from the company's Inspiron and Latitude portable computers soared 67 percent, and shipment growth was twice the industry average. Dell for the first time moved to No. 2 in global notebook share, No. 1 in shipments to business customers worldwide, repeated its No. 1 U.S. ranking and moved to No. 3 in Europe." Regards, Gabriel
