 CPU Price Chart - March 4, 2001
Notes and Recommendations: There has been some movement in the higher-end CPUs. The Athlon 1 to 1.2 GHz all have fallen about 5 to 10% since last time. The PIII 1 GHz has also dropped about 10%, though the price of P4's have remained stable. Athlons with 266 MHz bus are starting to appear- together with a VIA KT133A motherboard and DDR memory these will be hot commodities.
