In Tom's new article... "For consumers, the advice can only be to wait with the purchase of new systems or components until January/February 2001."

Is this for all the core components? ie, CPU, MB, RAM etc... any clue on how much cheaper approx?
any marketing people in this business out there? :p
Thanks

Note the use of the word consumer.

This to me brings connotations of a standard user, "Mum and Dad" variety if you will. Not your hard core speed freaks.

This then, to me implies that if you wanted to buy a complete system, wait.

If you wanted to buy anything else apart from RAM, wait as well. Mainly due to.... 133MHz athlons are not available, boards to take them are not available, boards running with DDR at "266MHz" are not available, and there are due for new graphics chips or revisions soon.

I don't know if the new prices will be comparible to the current market but just wondering how much will it push the current one. Is it like PIIs are going to drop in price once the PIIIs come out... or another earthquake in Taiwan except reversed?
Looks trivial...
For example the cheapest Asus I can find is around the $130USD range. Will it plunge sub-100 or just around say $115-120ish?
Too specific?
Sorry for the bug, it's obvious I'm short on time.
Thanks :)
