Re: CPQ Durons at Best Buy!

While flipping channels during the commercials last night (let's face it, that was one long game!) I hit HSN every so often. They were selling a Duron 800 system for about $1,500 with 17" monitor up to $1,900 with CDRW and 19" monitor. All systems included DVD, a color printer, netcam, and Microsoft Word. They sold over 10,000 systems during last night's show.

They had a graphic comparing Duron 800 benchmarks with Pentium III 800 benchmarks - the Duron was shown beating the PIII by a substantial margin.

Looks like the "Celeroning" of the Pentium has begun!

Regards,

Dan
