Joe, I have no "public" source for that info, so I can't give you a link.. I can tell you that I have heard the first PCoaC is being designed with Cayenne in mind. Steve

I also remember that the first PCOAC would be based on media GXm. I vaguely remember this coming from an official release as well as discussions here. It makes sense to start very simple here and aim the product as low in price as possible to make PCOAC successful. It will do more than enough for many people with the lowest possible cost. --Scott

PC sales rocket in June -- AMD takes lion's share: "Retail desktop PC sales came roaring back in June after a lackluster performance in May, according to PC Data's June Retail Hardware Report. Unit sales increased 21.5 percent over June 1997 and were up more than 37 percent from May. Compaq, which lost market share in May as it prepared to release its new Windows 98 based product line, regained leadership with 25.4 percent market share on the strength of a 45 percent growth in unit sales over June 1997 and an 81 percent increase over May. ... AMD maintained a strong performance with its products accounting for 26.2 percent of retail sales in June. In the sub-$1000 segment, PCs with a K-6 processor represented almost 45 percent of the market, significantly ahead of the Intel PentiumMMX. AMD K-6 processors also powered four of the top six best-selling skus in June. However, the best-selling sku for June, the Hewlett-Packard 8250, was based on Intel's new Celeron processor. PCs based on Pentium II processors remained the most expensive products with the average Pentium II PC selling for $1,520. This is over 40 percent higher than the next two processor families, the Celeron and the AMD K6-2, both of which powered PCs selling for an average of $1,079." biz.yahoo.com Craig
