Saw two computers being hawked on TV last night.
Computer A was a Systemax Athlon 1 GHz with DVD, CDRW, 256M of RAM, scanner, printer, 5 ch surround and 17" monitor for 1899.

Computer B was a P3-850 with all of the above except no CDRW and only 128M RAM for 1699.

You might remember that I emailed AMD marketing a while ago and said it would be a good idea to increase memory in AMD-based computers to 256M so that P4 systems would be monetarily disadvantaged and RamBusted. I think the Systemax deal might have been a promotion from AMD since they were talking Athlon up a lot on that 1/2 hour show.

So, anyway, some evidence that AMD marketing listens.
