This Week

This week we see things start to cool off for the Pentium 4 line of processors. The rest of Intel's processors saw a small downward trend in prices as well.

AMD's line of processors are also seeing the cooling effect as prices, although still falling, are falling at a much lower rate.

Not much changes for 3dfx and ATI video cards this week. However, we do see the price of NVIDIA's new GeForce3 begin to fall as well as the the arrival of the KYRO II.
