Dave, Maybe corporate buyers found out that they can buy two fully loaded Duron systems for the price of one stripped down P4 system, and that the Duron system is faster than the P4 system anyway? Maybe they found out that "Netburst" is more like "Netbull"? Could that be motivation to cancel? Scumbria

>>I'd guess that the unusually high number of 8100's means that, just as corporations are putting on hold their high-priced MIS efforts, they're probably cutting back on buying the higher end PCs right now and going with lower-end models. i think dell is selling mucho p4s and this is just a small % of sales. single digit.

Re: 80%+ of the systems are cancelled orders I don't believe that Dell knocks hundreds of dollars off the price of a still sealed, unshipped system because they change the shipping address from the initial one. No need to respond. You believe that they do, and are certainly entitled to your conclusion - perhaps you are correct and I am not. Regards, Dan
