Ali and James,Thanks for the explaination and here is the configuration you asked, but still don't to understand why this AMD system cost comsumer more:

I called up the store (Intellect Computer, 301-231-7100) and double checked all the detail configuration.

On Monday Washington Post, I noticed AMD K6-233 MHZ system is priced at $1189, and the same configuration Intel P-MMX-233 MHZ sells for only $1109! Yes, $80 cheaper than AMD's K6,with the exact same configuration.

Here is the detail configuration:

- Intel F430-vx with 512k Pipeline Cache
- 16 MB EDO Memory
- 1.28 GB (Mode 4) EIDE HD
- 64 bit S3 V-PLUS with 2 Mb EDO
- 14" 0.28dpi 1024x768 Low Rad SVGA Monitor
- 24x/3D Sound/74 titles/Speakers/Mic.
- 104 Windows 95 Keytronic Keyboard
- MS-compatiable Mouse
- 33.6 Kbs Internal Voice Faxmodem with software
- Mini-Tower Case with 230 W PS
- Software, Windows 95/on CD with Manual
- 90-Days same as cash
- 5 year labor, 1year parts warranty

Intel Pentium-MMX-233 $1109
AMD K-6-233 $1189
