Satyr or anyone, this may be a real dumb question but I am a non-tech.... If I buy a computer with the following configuration: Intel Pentium 333 WDC xx gig Drive 64m Ram standard MS WIN bundle of software etc etc What would be the difference between a DELL, CPQ, GTW or brand X, if all the components are identical? Should their be a difference in performance? Would one be more reliable than another? Thanks for any response. By the way, I posted this question first on the DELL thread and the only answer I received was BUY DELL. I am hoping for a more educated response. Ramsey

Satyr...I too think we are stuck in this range for a while as evidenced by the targets reported in Barrons this weekend. This would also explain the de-coupling of DEC from CPQ price movement. Based on a DEC target of $55 1/8 any significant deviation from a CPQ price of $26 9/16 would trigger either buy or sell reactions. Steve
