i heard something like dell is going to put in dual processor instead
of one, you can bet intel's margin going to be hurt by this not dell's.
dell is not spending anything more.


Maybe both are going to split the difference. That is what Dell probably gets for being an all Intel shop.---some breaks.
Maybe this would kick start demand in this high margin area for both Intel and Dell.

Sonki, why DELL not paying more for 2 CPUs? I think
the market doesn't understand that INTC can sell more
CPUs even if PC sales slow. We are testing dual-processor
PCs as high-power computing machines and as servers.
I think SUNW may be hurt some because server market
is shifting to PC-based NT or Linux boxes. But I see
this is a good time for INTC and box makers who can
grab the server market. I guess that's one of the reasons
we start to see PCs sold with Linux installed.

As for COMS, I am not surprised by its drop. Not dramatic
for technicians because of its inability to come back to
200 ema.

ian, i could be totally wrong but i think retail mrkt is approx 33% of pc and rest goes to the business. So intel still has a major part of the market.

The story I read stated that U.S. Retail Sales were 10% of the market. I don't believe it said if they were talking units or dollars.
