Hey, James, great news about CPQ! Personally I'd probably buy the Media-GX notebook if its $1800 or so rather than the $2500 K6-266. I love the statement: *Compaq has told partners a majority of its consumer notebook PC sales next year could be non-Intel-based.* Anybody know CPQ's total expected notebook sales for '97? techweb.cmp.com Petz

James, Thanks for the good news. Compaq the most reluctant of the Tier 1 customers to come aboard. The article also stated that they will be producing laptops with both Cyrix and AMD inside. Looks like Compaq is either confident that AMD and Cyrix can produce enough chips to keep them happy, or they are desperate to win market share back from Dell and Gateway. Aloha, David A. BTW, it looks like intel will loose thier monopoly on portable chips in 98. Do you think they will dramatically reduce thier prices to save market share?
