"In order to put a system together for $449, the CPU pretty much has to be <$50 of the price. ..HPQ seems to be taking quite a loss on these. Not quite a lot of incentive to continue buying more, IMO. " Not necessarily. Ever heard of concept called "subsidy"? Dell is doing this left and right, why HPQ should stay out? Don't you know that there is such thingies as "competition" and "market share"? Given those low sellable prices (dictated by slow market), which system will make less loss, AMD-based, or Intel-based? - Ali
