Rocky1> people buying new will want the best. American shoppers generally prefer to buy whatever is cheapest. Since computers are now a commodity, name value really isn't that important any longer. I doubt too many shoppers buy a computer due to what type of ram is installed. I have also not found one store or retail outlet that is pushing Rambus as they way to go. IMHO Don

people buying new will want the best, not just good enough. A lot of Celeron product is sold into the commercial market, as well as the consumer market. And PIII will live on as the Celeron/T. (Intel can call it anything they want, but it's still just PIII/T with smaller cache). Intel also has a new chipset for dual PIII/Tualatins. Those purchasing these products obviously think they're "good enough". So why wouldn't P4/SDRAM also have a following? All the major box makers seem to think there will be. And all these price games about what systems cost are just that. You can buy a DELL Dimension 8100 P4 system for $719.00 if you hurry. You can also get an "Advanced" PIII Dimension 4100 for $489.00 if you hurry. Neither are configured the way most people would want them. But those prices make you sit up and take notice.. <VBG> dell.com
