The 5200 series sells in the $1400-1600 range with a quality monitor and CD ROM. The 6200 is about $1400 without monitor. Both of these are 75MHz 603 machines with cache. Then, there is the 7200 with a 601 at both 75MHz and 90MHz. The 75 goes for $1600 without monitor and the 90 goes for $1800 without monitor. Both have 3 PCI slots. These are competitive systems. Yes, you'll always be able to buy a bargain PC, but on average, these are reasonable. Steve Bakke Computer Engineering University of Cincinnati
