The problem is that these 100 MHz products won't be cheap...so I'm uncertain how they will be accepted...
Intel will keep the price up to offset the lost margins on the low end...

Keith or anyone - I'm one of those waiting for the new machines with the 100mhz bus. I've heard several times now that these machines 'won't be cheap', and was wondering exactly what that meant! Are we saying that the new bus will result in a significant premium for these machines? As an example, if I can currently get a loaded 333mhz machine with DVD for around 2600 bucks, are we talking a couple hundred more for the new generation with say the 350mhz chip?

Thanks
John

Keith - Re: " It now looks like the introduction of these machines will coincide with the introduction of Windows98. "

I hope you're right.

By the time Microsoft releases Windows 2001, Intel will have introduced about 12 new chips - Covington, Mendocino, Katmai, Willamette, Merced, Merced II, etc., etc.
