dEngle,
RE:"Oh by the way - you never mentioned if that IBM AthLATE system was
FOR SALE - or just a DEMO.

Which one, Jimbo ?"...

No one asked. It had a price tag of $1599 and was a DEMO. I asked the manager and he said they were using it to figure out how many Athlons to order. Go figure. I can't deal with the intelligence level of the average retail store manager/clerk. Apparently anyone can go to a Best Buy and "SEE" an Athlon system. That is, especially if you can walk.
Some day I expect you'll be able to buy one there. jajaja
I don't want to get into your usual nit-picking petty arguments. Everyone here knows that motherboards aren't quite up to production levels yet. Everyone here knew the transition to the Athlon would be a bumpy road, even Scumbria. Now you know why I hold on to Intel.
Jim
