Jim, Regarding consumer demand for computers: I currently own two, a 486x66 and a Pentium 90. My son is leaving for college this year, so one goes with him. Even if he were not leaving, I still want a new one. Actually, my problem is that I want two new ones: I need a portable, and I want one of those DELL workstations with dual processors. From today's paper: DELL Workstation 400 Desktop for $1949.99 333MHz Pentium II Processor (Dual-Processor Capable) 64MB RAM 4GB SCSI Hard Drive 24X Max. Variable SCSI CD-ROM 16-Bit Sound 8MB PCI Video 10/100Mbps NIC Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 $200 extra for 128MB RAM $699 for Gloria L-MX video card $100 for 56Kbps Modem $199 for 17" Monitor I wonder when CPQ will offer one of those for < $500? Now, I admit that I may not be a 'typical' household or computer consumer. But you can rest assured that I will be buying those or similar machines within the next 1 1/2 years. I'd buy them now, if I didn't have to sell DELL to do it. <g> BTW, can one of you tech gurus answer a question for me? Since I wish to put dual processors in the machine, do they need to be identical, or can they be different speeds without problem? DELLish, 3
