Strange report from Dow Jones Newswire. Compaq, the world's top PC maker, will unveil 15 new Presarios Tuesday, with three desktop machines and one notebook powered by the K6. One notebook computer, priced below $2,000, will run on chips made by Cyrix Corp., a unit of National Semiconductor Corp. (NSM), according to a source. Still, most of the computers will use Intel's Pentium II chips. The entry-level desktops will run on a 200-megahertz K6 chip and cost about $799 without a monitor, which should cost about $200. Guess we will see the product line-up tomorrow, but I would bet the $799 model is GX based, since we've seen a bunch of leaks saying so. We shall see. Bob
