Dale, I saw the same thing at Microcenter here in Boston. Mostly all PIIs and Celerons with lots of Intel advertising. A few AMD/Cyrix systems hidden away in the corner. PowerSpec (Microcenter's branded PC) was selling at $499 (200 GX chip i think), but I saw no one there. That system used to be displayed right when you walk in the store, but not anymore. joey

Dale - re: "BBY would have been a good investment it went from 6 to 43 in the past year!" Why didn't you tell me this a year ago? Re: "They had 21 desktop PCs on display 4 were AMD (two 266mhz and two 300mhz), 1 Cyrix (120mhz) and the other 16 Pc's were Intel PII and celeron." Thanks for providing the data. Assuming that sales match display models, that would give Intel about 75% of the Best Buy Retail market. Tack that on to about 95% for Intel in the "business" market. Paul
