Jozef:

Apologies for earlier misspelling of your name.

Re: " The 750MHz CuMine beats the 850MHz Athlon head to head on most benchmarks.
Tell that to the sales "associate" at CompUsa". He says that 850 is more than 750. And that 850 rocks.

And he recommends that you upgrade with another 128 MHz of RAM that is on sale this week."

Comment: Intel is currently staging a desparate Public Relations battle as they don't have a satisfactory competitor for the Athlon at the top-end on a price/performance basis...I wonder how long and how many dollars later it will be before they come to their senses and quit falsely posturing themselves as a legitimate top-end contender...They might be better off redirectingall these wasted PR dollars to Internet investments, an area they seem much more comfortable with...Intel got caught snoozing in the microprocessor segment...You know how it goes...You snooze, you lose!
