Walmart.com Flogs $199 Linux OS PCs
Wal-Mart is famous/notorious for its relentless focus on price. Now it's decided to have a little fun with the PC business. The world's biggest retailer is flogging a new desktop computer for $199. The 800 MHz VIA C3 processor is never going to win prizes for performance - but for price/performance at the budget end of the market, it's very hard to beat. The PC comes with 128MB SDRAM on a VIA Apollo PLE133 chipset-based mobo, supplying integrated graphics and networking.
