2GHz Pentiums hard to come by at Dell
Source: CNet News
Consumers looking to buy 2GHz Pentium 4 PCs this fall may find the going a little on the slow side.
Recently, Dell Computer stopped taking orders for Dimension 8200 desktop PCs and other systems that include the 2GHz Intel processor, and this past weekend it pulled the chip from its Web site "configurator," through which consumers can pick and choose the features they want for a given system.
A Dell spokesman, citing strong demand, said the company sold out of 2GHz Pentium 4 chips, but he stopped short of calling the lack of availability a shortage.
