Mohan, my Pentium III thoughts are entirely second hand. And considering what I don't know about computers,electronics and such, I doubt that they're even worth a penny. But since you asked ... I gather from reading various knowledgeable people that the Pentium III won't drive much corporate buying. It seems mainly aimed at faster graphics and so will appeal mainly to gamers. But what do I know? I read in the paper the other day that physicists had succeeded in slowing light down to a crawl. That's supposed to be very useful in speeding up some computers. Go figure.

Mohan, I think the answer is in the article, look at the pricing <ggg>. Based on the fact that vendors will be releasing sub 2k PIII systems, I don't see that the early interations of this chip will help much, at best they might prolong the 'treading water' in high end prices. Not long ago a high end PC was 3k+, even with the PIII the high end might stay between 2k and 2.5k. Your best hope is late this year early next year, at which time the 133mhz bus and Rambus memory are released. Till then, the only way you are going to get high ASP's is if everyone buys an LCD monitor to go with their system. John
