Dell Says to Aggressively Market PCs with New Chip

PRAGUE (Reuters) - Dell Computer Corp the world's top selling personal computer company, said on Wednesday it will aggressively market machines with the new Intel Pentium IV microprocessor in the face of flagging PC sales.

''We are going to be extremely aggressive with Pentium, basically bringing customers incredible value with the Pentium IV, pricing it very much like we would a Pentium III and encouraging the transition,'' Dell Chairman Michael Dell told reporters during a visit to Prague.


Dell said he is optimistic his firm's sales will outpace the market, boosted as well by the roll out of Microsoft's Windows XP (news - web sites) operating system in late October.

``I think the market should see an increase in growth as we get the new operating systems, new processors rolling out. We expect Dell will continue to grow much faster than the market.

``I haven't heard many suggesting that Compaq is at risk of regaining its number one position and I doubt that will be the case very much, and certainly all the data that we have for the second quarter so far suggests that once again Dell is significantly outgrowing the market,'' he added.
