A little later than I expected, but check out the Video Reviews Index for my Super7 3D Video Accelerator Comparison. I hope you all enjoy this one, took quite a while to put together. And for those of you that have been asking, my quizzes, tests, labs and papers from last week went pretty well. Let's get ready for another week packed full of work as this Sunday comes to an proper end. I'm beat, and with the comparison completed, I'm going to get some sleep before I have to get up tomorrow. Take it easy everyone, and I've got two new logo designs for you all to look at tomorrow...but they'll wait, I'm tired ;) - Anand

Intel, AMD to cut prices next week

update Intel and Advanced Micro Devices will cut mainstream processor prices by roughly 20 to 30 percent next week in the latest, and perhaps last, round of price jockeying between the two companies for 1998.

Intel's cuts, set for October 25, will reduce prices on its Xeon processors for servers and workstations as well as its desktop Pentium II and Celeron lines, said numerous sources. AMD will follow the next day with reductions that will keep its K6-2 and K6 processor lines at 25 percent below the price of Intel chips running at the same speed.

As a result, consumers can expect to start seeing mark-downs and discounts on PCs for the holiday season. Full-featured, mainstream PCs powered by the 350-MHz Pentium II chip will begin to approach the $1,000 mark at retailers such as CompUSA.
