Another great dual Athlon system!

Milo, there is another important PC manufacturer which is very actively promoting dual Athlon systems: The German company Waibel.

Waibel is a very renowned, high-end manufacturer in Germany. It has won a lot of awards due to their ultimate high quality PCs. (BTW: Waibel was one of the first, if not THE first, German PC manufacturer to promote the Athlon back in 1999.)

Now Waibel claims to have the **world's first** series production dual Athlon PC. It is called "Rheinblitz AXR". The specs can be seen here (in German): waibel.de

It looks to be one hell of a PC!!!

Peter

EDIT: PS: On their homepage there is the question: "Why doesn't Waibel offer any Pentium 4 PCs?" The link leads to an excellent statement (in German). Some quotes:
"We still believe that a P4 system is just nonsense. All our competitors disqualify themselves by their unconditional recommendation of that technology."
"We can't expect of our clients to buy a PC which doesn't have a future" [due to the forthcoming socket change]
"From the technical point of view the P4 is a huge disappointment."
"We believe it is the biggest marketing gimmick of all times"

And this is not a statement of a no-name company! Waibel is one of the most renowned PC manufacturers in Germany!!!
