<Since market segmentation has always been a big part of Intel's strategy I don't think you can lump PII and PIII sales together. It remains to be seen how well the PIII line sells.> I don't know. Just today, "the day that the big blue door opens," I've seen tons of ads for new Pentium III systems. This is the first time in a long time that places like CompUSA have advertised more Intel-based systems than AMD-based ones. Will people buy them? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. I've seen fully decked out systems for $1999, though. This starting price is pretty low for a newly-released top-of-the-line chip, even though it's more than your commodity $1000 system. Tenchusatsu
