Windsock,

Those are only 700's... The 700Mhz coppermine is not the 'fastest chip in the universe'. Sorry try again.

WindSchlock -- "Try here for Dell"
dell.com
Well, I tried, the headline says that "up to 700 MHz" systems are available, but,
1. The fastest recommended system is 600 MHz
2. The link to configure your own system is broken
3. If I could configure and price a 700 MHz system, it uses a BX motherboard with 100 MHz SDRAM -- can't match an Athlon even on basic business applications, let alone stuff like 3D Studio Max
4. NO 733 at all

re: "Try here for Dell:"

Try 21 working days for shipment on a system just introduced this AM.

HHHMMMM? Yields and bin splits must really be good.

Just who the heck does intEL think that it is...pauL's conceptualization of AMD?

Windstock, re:"Try here for DELL" HA! These systems don't even support ATA-66 like the Athlon!

Windsock - RE: "Try here for Dell:"

They don't have the fastest processor in the world, they only have the THIRD fastest!

Gateway too.
