Hi!

I'm Kathy Elliott. I'm a grad student at Geogia Tech doing research for my professor. I need to find out when the 8086, 286, 386, 486, pentium, Pentium II, and MMX were released, what were the release prices of them (suggested retail price) and what was the selling price of them about 6-9 months later. I was able to locate the dates when each processor was released. I just need to find the m.s.r.p. on them. I understand that computers are available with a lot of features, so if possible, just a standard, "middle" of the price range, average features, will be helpful.

If this information is unavailable, could you please suggest where I can find this kind of information without going to the library and flipping though years of PC World magazines! I appreciate your time and help in providing this information.

Sincerely,
Kathy Elliott
