Paul, HP sells out of P4 systems That's the second sold out story we've received. The other was from Jimmy Mac about HSN, which had only 200. I imagine HP had more than that. Sounds good, we'll take it for a start, even though low volume, now ramp that sucker! HP says that too: "Our Web store sold out [of P4 systems] within one day. There was a limited number of systems and as expected, these buyers were all early adopters. We expect sales to ramp up starting in January and continue to grow throughout the whole year as prices fall and performance increases." Rather unhelpfully, the Great Satan of Printers, Calculators and Oscilloscopes can't give absolute numbers. So now HP is a Satan also. The Wretchister does try to get your attention. Tony

Paul - Re: "HP sells out of P4 systems" Over the Thanksgiving weekend I stopped by at a local screwdriver shop to pick up a new 800Mhz P-III for my wife. The boss there showed me a new P4 1.5Ghz that Intel had just shipped to him. He said that Intel would give him either one 1.5Ghz or three 1.4Ghz chips, his choice. Unfortunately, he said that motherboards were backordered so he couldn't build any systems for the time being. He said that he has orders for 15 1.5Ghz systems, but for the time being he's forced to sell Sun systems because of lack of motherboards. Aaron
