Radio Shack

1998 – Radio Shack said in an interesting move that they partnered with Compaq over IBM in PC sales throughout their 7,000 stores. By May, the Presario 2246 would hit shelves. It is a 233 MHz AMD-K-6 that sold for $999. The Presario 4555 would cost consumers $1399 and the high end Pentium II – 300 would cost $2299.
