-> To All,
-> 
-> I am thinking of buying an all-in-one pentium system soon, but I am 
-> wondering if I should wait for an upcoming price drop (due to the 
-> unveiling of the P6).  Does anyone expect a pentium price drop soon for 
-> this or any other reason?  What do you think system prices will drop to?
-> 
-> Thanks immensely in advance,


->	Locally, I can pick up an Intel Triton MB w/ 133 Mhz pentium chip &
->256Kb L2 cache for just under $800.00+tax.  I expect by the time the
->Cyrix-powered systems acheive market acceptance (Mar `95) I will be
->able to pick up that same board/chip for $100.00 less.  That is,
->barring an unforseen disaster shrinking the pool of available
->pentiums.  (Not likely)

I just got a P5 120 Mhz chip for $330.  P120 with a Triton MB and Pipelined 
Burst Cache of 256k was just over $600.  Are prices dropping?  YES!!!
