David, Not enough lead time for chipsets and mobos. I am not sure what lead time AMD gave to Via and cronies?

David - RE: "Maybe buyers will continue to purchase the more powerful models this year rather than the budget boxes as they have been this past spring."

My friend went in to buy a PC probably last week or so, expecting to get a cheap PC. He walked away with an HP Athlon 850 system. ;)

Maybe buyers will continue to purchase the more powerful models this year rather than the budget boxes as they have been
this past spring.


Or maybe they will buy lower end Athlons. Like a 750sb from Gateway for $1249, or a Compaq 700mhz Athlon system (I just configured one with a printer but with no monitor for $916, or any number or smaller vendors.
