It's still a Celeron show this month, with three of the four chart newcomers sporting some flavor of Intel's bargain-friendly processor. Breaking with recent trends, PC prices on the budget Top 20 this month rose about $15 over last month. Look closely, though, and you'll still find a bumper crop of deals. The number three finisher, Gateway's corporate-oriented E-1200 366, is the least-expensive Best Buy at just $1114. Two models new to the chart--one from Dell (the Celeron-433­based Dimension V433c), the other from Micro Express (the MicroFlex-34A powered by AMD's K6-III-400)--are also Best Buys, filling the number four and number five spots. Both speedy systems sell for less than $1600.
