Kevin - RE: "Of course, since most people don't bother to outfit their Civics with an expensive i840 based motherboard or expensive Rambus, the normal Honda Civic driver doesn't even bother to make noise about competing in performance with a BMW." Nice analogy. These Intelabees are HOPING i820/FLOPPERMINE/DRDRAM systems will sell well against Athlon systems but they won't in the retail market where price IS a concern because the Intel systems will cost MORE for comparable performance at the same MHz. And I am only looking at retail because that is basically the only place to get Athlons right now. (Cybermax isn't that big.) The Athlon offers the best price/performance ratio for high end systems.
