“What kind of people would support Intel by buying an Intel made chip?”

I would. Actually, I was looking for a top of the line x86 system. Since there are no products offered by neither AMD nor Cyrix coming close, I had to settle on a P-II/450. In the meantime, I have overclocked it to run at 500MHz with 112MHz FSB.

Fuchi, I keep reminding you that this is an investment forum not a place to gripe or bitch about some companies or some ones you so "respect".

>>> off topic <<<

After raising the FSB to 112MHz, the combination of a master Seagate 8.6MB HD and a slave CD-ROM keeps corrupting the HD. The only solution I have found is to configure the CD-ROM as its own master on the secondary IDE. The advantage of configuring the CD-ROM as a slave is to save an extra and ever so precious IRQ. If any one experiences the same type of phenomenon and has a solution other than mine, please let me know.
