Bill,
RE:"Jim, A double bite, a discount price and a back bite for stuff that does not sell"

Costco rarely if ever discounts an item unless it's returned or the floor model. They send it back and take it off the invoice.
The HP P4 system at Costco is $2499. A Compaq 1.1 Gig Athy system is $1499. One of the problems with the P4 systems is that they bundle them with higher end peripherals. Add two sticks of Rambus on top of that and your up to your elbows in price.
