Robert - Re: " Intel gave Packard Bell the sweet heart deal on low end cpu's was to allow them to compete with the GX-media chip that Compac had already commited to us in it's sub $1000 PC's. " Yes - thanks for reminding me of that story. I don't know how much truth there is to it but - maybe? And today we have Compaq K6 233 MHz PCs (Presario 4540) and Compaq Intel Pentium MMX 166 Mhz PCs (Presario 4212ES) for $699. And just who is making money in this rat race? Everybody is rushing to give away their products for free. Paul
