Just slightly different rates of supply and demand, I presume.  Although
the 8s are down to $89 inc tax now, and the Am5x86-P75/133 CPU is an
absolute steal at just $78 inc tax.  Bet Intel are REAL pissed about that
too.  :)

Or will it in fact (as I suspect may happen for a while at least), suddenly
take off again until the speculators have cleared all their stocks.

Or perhaps, another 12 months down the track, a 5Gb drive instead...
