Paul,
RE:"The best-selling PC, however, was HP's 8250, which is powered by
Intel's Celeron chip.

That's right, Jim - your favorite CELERY CHIP was the CPU inside the
best selling retail PC in June."

I saw that...HP must have some pretty good marketing clout with those pretty boxes. Over all HPs share slipped.
The 64 dollar question is why in the world would HP switch to the K6 if they were selling so many Celerons?

Jim

Dr. Engel:

I don't know why you are so joyous. What this tells you is that consumers are favoring INEXPENSIVE computers. So much for high price PII.
