S, >>>Did you know that an MII-266 sells for less than $60 these days?<<< Getting close to the old 7400 jelly bean days? Not quite, or by a long shot, but goes to show you what dog-eat-dog competition can do. Tony

>>Did you know that an MII-266 sells for less than $60 these days? No I did not. I've never seen an MII (I've heard of them, but that's about all) -- are they a decent processor for general use? What kind of margins are they getting on those chips?! I bet an MII-266 can indeed 'keep up' with 56kbps data rates. It's amazing -- I just received the flyer from Micron: they've got what appears to be a solid PII 450 system (no DVD, but w/ a 17" monitor, 64Mb RAM, PII 450, 8.4 Gb, 32x CDROM, 56k USR/3Com, nVidia 8Mb AGP, sound, W98, MS Office SBE, speakers, kb and mouse) for $1,699. I guess the component prices (and values) are still dropping. These prices on PII 450's are going to spur some sales, I'd say. I think I'll price one w/out the monitor. What would be a good guess as to Intel's margin's on the PII 450's that go into these systems? Randy
