Oh, dear.  I feel a swarm of apples and oranges coming on...

I would not mind seeing the requested info AS LONG AS IT IS MADE CLEAR
THAT THE PRICES ARE NOT DIRECTLY COMPARABLE.  This could get worse than
dhrystones Real Fast.

Actually, I *would* like to see price _trends_ for any (preferably all)
of the mentioned processors.  (Especially for the 29xxx! :-)

BTW Renu, you left out the BellMac (32x00? too close to 32x32, if you
ask me)...
