Maybe it was a part of the Intel Retail Edge program? You were able to get crazy discounts on new parts, but they emphasized that you were not to re-sell them.

Is that a fact, or is it your theory? |

| Quote: | INTEL IS TO GO AHEAD with the launch of its 1.7GHz Pentium 4 microprocessor and has chosen mid April as the date.
The price for the boxed/retails parts, which will come in two flavours, will be just short of $1,000 for the 256Mb bundle at $980, and around $850.
One part, the # BX80528JK170GR comes with 128Mb of Rambus DRAM, while the other part, the BX80528JK170GR2, has 256Mb of the same memory type.
Not a cheap chip then, even if you take into account there's memory bundled. The prices are for Intel's authorised dealers and distributors. Other, OEM accounts, will pay less, depending on the number they buy from Intel. Dell will pay less than anyone else, we suspect. The date of the launch means there are plenty of the parts already seeded with the press, ready to develop legs and start wiggling real soon now. |
