RE:"If units really are going up, it worked out pretty well. I think another part of what's been going on is that Athlon XP was just a little late for the Christmas build." XP was a little late Christmas and apparently large OEMs didn't bother to try and offer them for Christmas when they "were" available. The Only XP I can find at retail is a Compaq @ Circuit City. RE:"Losing all that very visible shelf space was unfortunate, though." It hurts...OTOH Loading up on old P4s could also backfire on OEMS. Not that it will. --- On another note, I've noticed RAM prices backing up considerably. Especially DDR. Likely large OEMs are stocking up for the P4+DDR launch. At least that's what I think. Right after Christmas P4s w/DDR should start to show up in mass. I hope the folks who bought a Willy w/SDRAM don't figure out thet got the equivalent of a Pentium 60. I also hope OEMs don't get stuck with a lot of those Willy + SDRAM boxes in inventory. Jim
