Here's something I turned up (and posted on CPQ thread). Despite lots of rumor about CPQ's 'obsolete inventory' and the big advantages of Dell's BTO model in getting hot product to market, CPQ apparently leads in the PII high end rollout, Dell is not in the top four overall on PII. At least if you believe techweb.com The early favorable sales of high-end Pentium II PCs also contributed to the ongoing success of Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer. Compaq held onto the top spot for the month with a 27.5 percent increase in unit sales, good for a 28.4 percent share of retail PC sales. HP kept the No.2 two spot by more than doubling its retail PC sales rate and capturing 17.4 percent of retail unit sales. Packard Bell NEC finished third, moving ahead of IBM, despite a 52.7 percent decline in unit sales.
