Bob,
Top ten selling computers for January.
4 of 10 were K6s and the other 6 were PentiumMMXs/classics. That seems about right. February, I recall it being about 49% AMD K6 boxes by volume.

The real story here though is that there was only one Pentium II based systems in the top 10. Number 10. Break out the Celery? No wonder Intel is gonna give it the good 'ole college try.

Jim

Robert, given the close pricing on the top 9 units, it's amazing that CPQ moved any 166MHz units at all. For just $200 more you could get CPQ's #1 seller -- a far superior system. Apparently, price and price alone was enough for the 4505 to make the #6 spot.
