update China's Legend Group has introduced a $1,200 Pentium II system with monitor, a move that appears to be aimed at solidifying its position as the top PC vendor in mainland China.

Legend's new Benyue model is priced at 9999 renminbi (about $1,207), and comes with a 233-MHz Intel Pentium II processor, 32MB of memory, a 2GB hard drive, and a 14-inch monitor, according to Legend vice president Yang Yuanqing and industry observers.

Typically, systems based on Intel's premier chip line start much higher, at about $1,900 without a monitor.

Greg---> They are taking the premium out of PCs.
