Paul,

RE:HP is introducing a $1099 Pentium II 233 MHz PC

It is? Where exactly in the article does it say that?

HP today introduced the Pavilion 8240 with a 233-MHz MMX Pentium, 32MB of memory, a 4.0 GB hard disk drive, a 24X CD-ROM drive, and 56-kbps modem for $1,099. This also beats similarly configured systems from Compaq by a few hundred dollars.

HP's assault doesn't stop with Pentium systems. The Pavilion 8260, priced at $1,699, comes with a 266-MHz Pentium II

Paul,

The article does not says ""HP today introduced the Pavilion 8240 with a 233-MHz MMX Pentium". I see no mention that it is a PII. Did you read some where else that it was a PII? Either way it is still a great price. Is'nt competition grand!

Paul, Your post has an error. the HP 233 offering is same price as compaq AMD 233. maybe they lment Compaq pentium II 233. Look for compaq to drop the amd233 box to $999.00 Your right this pretty much crushes AMD.
