Paul, RE:<P2 price cuts> Intel released on Nov. 13 their January 1, 1998 CPU pricing strategy and as usual, the retail prices have adjusted to the Jan. 1 prices since there are only a few weeks remaining. No, this is not the way it usually happens. If I as a CPU distributor have 1000 Pentium II's in my inventory which I bought at $400 on November 15, why would I sell them to you a month later at $300 since I still have to pay $400 to replace those CPU's in my inventory? Last time prices dropped, distributors such as thechipmerchant.com just stopped selling Intel CPU's for two weeks before the price reduction. Furthermore, the Nov. 13 announcement said that the P2-266 would not drop in price until February. Guess what, now they're dropping it January 1. Petz
