Brian, re< Pentium MMX boost> Although he is a puny joker on this thread, there is some truth in this statement. Significant discounts on stale and discontinued Pentium-MMX parts did create a one-time opportunity for some PC vendors. For example, local SAM's Clubs (part of WalMart) stock a variety of Compaq models, ranging from K6-233 to P-II-300 and above (for $3000++). However, the best seller is some Pionex PC which sells for $899 (15" monitor included). Looking at a pile of conveniently stacked Pionex boxes versus other models, the Pionex P-233MMX outsells everything else at least as 4:1. Conclusion: sub-$1000 market become an undisputed mainstream, all high-priced Intels will be eventually discounted to this level, at Intel expense. Bye-bye high Intel's margins, probably forever.
