You gotta relize there will always be price drops.  If you wait till
the market is going to stabalize you will never buy a PC.  While you'd
think the P6 would result in a P5 plunge I wouldn't bet on it
considering Intel has the P6 aimed at a different market, the
server/network Windows NT guys, at least for now.  Intel can cut
prices to wholesalers at any time.   Buy your computer and never look
at these newsgroups again, the falling prices will make you sick :)
