Well here is the break out: techstocks.com CPQ is selling at 1.8 times its revenue while DELL is selling at 4.8 times its sales. (and lets not forget Compaq's revenue of over $8 billion VS. DELL 4 billion). CPQ has a book value of 5, while DELL has a book value of 50! DELL has a P/E of 62 while CPQ has a P/E of 15. And lets not forget that CPQ has DELL on its side right now. I truly do not understand why on earth anyone wants to invest in DELL instead of CPQ. Regards, Addi Jamshidi
