Ok, remember when the 486 came out .. the 386 costed peanuts. Like .. the
same thing will happen with the P-6's ..

Umm.. I still think they will drop in price because new buys will still want
the top of the line systems and therefore go for the P-6 .. and as a result
the price of the P-5 will drop ..
