Kevin, <but I'm keeping my expectations low.> I obviously don't disagree. Especially in front of info from the same pricewatch where six vendors are selling P-II-400, for around $1000 bucks each. Or trying to sell? The number of people who are willing to pay 100% more for a system that performs better by only 15% must be small. Especially if they keep in mind that after 2-3 months they can easily save $400-$500 after the next unavoidable price reduction... What I see here is an attempt to sustain their ASP in order to subsidize Cele-wrongs and Covingtons. I have some doubts that it will work this time because of the above - the pace they set is so high that people are reasonably delaying their buying decisions. As we know, it needs for Intel's ASP to drop just $100 down for all profits to be gone. Take care, Ali
