The Register Advisory Group (RAG) would like to remind readers not to buy a new Intel PC until after the weekend. As listed here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/3808.html), Chipzilla is chopping prices on Monday to make room at the top for the hot (literally) new P3 550 which will debut at $744. Other parts take a dive at the same time – the P3 500MHz drops from $637 to $482, the 450MHz is slashed from $411 to $268 as does the humble P2 of the same speed. The P2 400 drops to $193 from $234. Celerons are unaffected this time round but are scheduled to go down in the next planned price move on July 18. ®
