Scott,

I'm always amazed that Paul still has not figured it out that if the price drops enough, then a PC is affordable to those that cannot afford one at present prices. Given a Intel CPU, that I can't afford, versus a box that I can afford (which isn't as fast? so what!) then what do you think I'm going to do?

Scott - Re: "I think most people just assume higher Mhz and more expensive is better, and their choice will depend upon their budget. "

That explains Cyrix's dismal failures.

Intel's CPUs are faster and quite affordable.

As you note, most customers do not prefer a bargain price on an inferior piece of merchandise.

Paul
