Paul, It appears that Intel will NOT come out with a 266 PMMX, and will battle the low-end desktop with 200/233 PMMX until some sort of low-end PII (cachless, integrated functions on Slot 1 chipset, etc.) comes out by mid-1998. Seems like a good strategy since it quickens the conversion to PII. I think the 233MMX should be able to compete well against a K6-233, and thanks to AMD yield problems, a K6-266 wont be ready in volume for a few more months, and by that time, the PII/233/266 should be down enough in price to compete well against it. It seems that Intel has all bases covered. Any comments?? joey

Paul - I understand that the success of PC internet video telephones is limited by the bandwidth of current modems. When do you expect this problem to be solved? When it is, will the sub-$1000 computers being sold today be able to handle this task? If not, then the current sub-$1000 buyers will probably want to upgrade.... Aaron
