Paul and all, I went to a shopping mall (the Palisades malls for people in NY-NJ-CT area) and I stopped by CompUsa, Circuit City and Staples. Basically, AMD owns high end of the retail business. At CompUSA, they had 3 1 GHz machines, 2 Compaq 1 HP. The highest clock speed Intel chip I have seen in these 3 stores was Piii 733. CompUsa has most of the machines Compaq and HP with a lot of models in 800 to 1 GHz range. I don't think I have even seen any Athlons lower than 800 MHz. Majority of the Compaq machines were AMD, with some Celerons and few K6-2. Actuall, the K6-2 chips are slowly disappearing and Celeron is taking over the low end. I don't know what's going on with the Durons. E-machines and Sony were all Intel. Staples had no Athlon chips. mostly mid to low end Piii, Celeron and K6-2. Circuit city was similar to CompUsa. Mostly Compaq and Hp, similar clock speeds. Joe
