Re: Can you verify what demand Intel is seeing for it's high speed processors, or what demand it "otherwise would"? John, the "business" lines of Pentium systems have been 150MHZ lower, from IBM, Compaq, and HP, than their other advertised systems. I am sure that this has reduced the demand, in terms of the price that buyers are willing to pay for a given speed. Do you seriously think otherwise? Or are you convinced that if they reduced the top speed of their business systems down to 133MHZ everyone would line up to pay double what they are paying now for each new PC, and buy more of them as well. :-) Dan
