Paul: No I am not upset.This was just a case of the "tail wagging the dog".I didnt know that much about Computers several years ago.After buying the Computer I started reading about them. I got caught up with the rest and had to buy a Computer instead of reading about it first. I believe it was in "Tips and Hints that I read about the fact that a lot of people were upset that Intel deliberately produced a "crippled" processor and "crippled" was the word used by the article.I just learn by my mistakes. If I decide to go to the Store late in the Evening and when I get there it has been closed for 10 minutes I dont blame the Manger for closing on time and try to get in. Duh maybe you arent one that feels that way. My son in Law told me he had a friend that was thinking about buying a Computer a few weeks ago.I told him to check with me first or my Son who is in his Junior year in College majoring in Computer Information Systems.He told me yesterday the guy bought a Packard Bell at Office Max.I told him I Bet he didnt get the Best Deal. I know another guy who when I first talked to him he didnt even know he couldnt get on the Internet with 2 Megs of Memory and now builds his own Computers. My point was that you cant trust the Salesmen or the Manufacturers etc and that some people are going to listen and become knowledgeable etc. and some people are going to take the opposite extreme and then some people are going to become an Apologist for Intel and Duh try to belittle others who dont believe the same way.The point is that Intel should never have made the SX and no there is no demand for them. When is the last time you saw a SX advertised?Either Intel was not "forward looking" or they were just trying to "rip people off". Your choice.How many people do you know that when they go out and buy a Major appliance they are going to consult Consumer Reports and read up on the Technical aspects etc. Charles
