As clone-PC makers swarm to sub-$500 price points, Compaq Computer and IBM are reported to be eyeing retaliatory moves that could put branded PCs at the $599 level this fall. While neither company would discuss their plans directly, sources briefed by them said both have been gauging interest in $599 units for release as early as October. Compaq is reported to be considering a system based on a Cyrix MII 300MHz microprocessor that would be available for ads by November. The system, model 2266, would be part of a bundle that would also include a Compaq monitor and printer, in which the PC would add $599 to a bundle totalling $899. crw.com news.com news.com
