Paul, Is this the price aggressiveness that CPQ is worried about? This is good news for DELL. Better product for less money! The news on CPQ is that they are experiencing pricing pressures this quarter and when they reduced their prices last week a number of other companies followed suit. I did another set of comparisons between CPQ, GTW and DELL today for Dimension like desktop systems. GTW versus DELL: 192 MB Memory 300MHZ PII ZIP Drive CDROM FLOPPY NVIdia $MB AGP Graphics 19" Monitor GTW=3221 DELL=3037 Note: DELL uses the more expensive ECC SDRAM on configurations greater than 64MB. Conclusion: DELL gives you more for 5% less money than DELL. Presario 4850: 300Mhz PII 6.5GB HD 2X DVD ACP Graphics 17" Monitor 56KModem 3Yr/3 yr /1 yr carry in service MS MONEY, Works, encarta Zip Drive CPQ = 2,792 DELL = 2,530 Notes: The CPQ system limits memory to 80MB while DELL goes up to 384 with error correcting memory. Conclusion: DELL gives you more for less money than CPQ on similar systems.
