Not necessarily. Optiplex is a much higher margin desktop product, both from a GM and ASP standpoint. They are Dell designed exclusively in contrast to the Intel designed Dimension. Remember, 80% of the entire PC market sales consist of desktops, for Dell, it represents about 70%. The average Optiplex configuration commands ASP's much higher than Dimension or typical consumer desktops. This is another reason why their ASP's aren't declining as fast as the rest of the industry.
