John: Re: ...and that will expand the home PC market Just remember that Andy G. says all those new users are customers for others who need BIG hardware to serve them. He sees the growth on the low end growing the high end...and it all makes sense to me. Hard to disagree with someone more paranoid than me <vbg> dmf

CompUSA also has the Cyrix MediaGX-180 box for $599. I believe these are close-outs. Of course they will be replaced by the GX-220-250-300 as time goes on. The whole home PC chip distribution is shifting to the lower end. Intelabees denied this for months and months. Intel is even considering a non-slot 1 Pentium II just so they can compete. Jim

John, I was in my local CompUSA a couple of days ago with a friend, and the Compaq Cyrix 180 was selling for $539 w/monitor at $199. We played with it a bit on the display rack and for a starter system, it ain't bad. These cheapo starter systems are bringing in a lot of first timers who will eventually upgrade when they find out that the "toy" they purchased won't support additional peripherals or heavyweight apps adequately. I was helping my friend, who was shopping for her first system, and she bought an HP Pavillion P166 mmx for a couple hundred bucks more and she loves it. I'm all for the sub zero market. Get 'em in the car and they'll soon want more horsepower. <g> Regards, JB
