Shanen, People behave similarly with cars as well. The price of a car drops drastically as soon as you drive off the lot, yet. there is a big difference between CPUs and cars. The reason for price brake is that the car becomes a used car. But if you buy the same model of the car at beginning of the model year, or at the end, the price will be almost the same. But your new P-II 300MHz went from $1,850 when it was introduced (less than a year ago) to $361 today. That's 81.5% reduction in less than 12 months. news.com In a previous post someone posted that Intel won't be able to add cache to the low end because they won't be able to justify the prices at the higher end. To that I'd like to add that MHZ will take care of that as it has in the past. 400Mhz PII's are about to be announced this month. Also, the Slot 2 chips will be introduced later this year. Those will be the real high end. The 350 and 400 MHz Slot 1 chips will be the mid-range by Christmas. Joe
