Dan, translator.go.com _____________ EasyNow! PC with Fujitsu Siemens Fujitsu Siemens rides now also on the Easy PC wave: Still before Dells Web PC or Compaqs EZ2000 should already be to have the " Celvin " starting from March in Germany. In the suction of Apples iMac Intel and AMD simpleton PCS developed, which are to enable a simple entrance without unnecessary ballast into the computer engineering. The Celvin orients itself thereby strongly at AMDs EasyNow! system, which had on the last Comdex premiere. The devices are to be built and based in the former Fujitsu factory Soemmerda on a FlexATX Mainboard with SiS530-Chipsatz. In it a diagram building block is contained, so that a separate diagram card is omitted - this would not fit also at all into the compact housing. As main processor first a AMD K6-ii with 450 mc/s is used; soon a version with the announced 500-MHz-K6-2+ is to follow. In the housing a CD ROM drive, the internal fixed disk sits seizes up to 8,4 GByte. Completely in the sense the Celvin does to the Easy PC initiative without serial and parallel interfaces, but offers excluding USB links. A printer can be attached thus only over this interface, just as the optionally available floppy disk drive. USB keyboard, mouse and loudspeaker boxes are to belong to the scope of supply, as monitor are a 15 and a 17-Zoll-Geraet to the selection. The operating system Windows 98 SE is to provide for convenient operation, for example by fast waking of the Celvin up from the Suspend to RAM mode. The manufacturer did not communicate prices. ______________________________________________________________________ Goutama

<Gateway Full page ad today's Chicago Tribune, half page ad, New York Times National Edition. Athlon 600 - 17" monitor - $1299 Athlon 700 - 17" monitor - $1899 Athlon 800 - 19" monitor - $2599 Headline of the ad is "Leave the 20th Century in the Dust." Equivalent Dell ad from Tuesday NYT National Edition: Pentium 500E $1199 - 17" monitor Pentium 650 $1999 - 17" monitor Pentium 667 $2599 - Has slow PC700 RDRAM, not the dual channel PC800 you've seen benchmarks for, and 17" monitor. Dell can't seem to get enough 700MHZ and higher parts to advertise.> Wow! With a difference like that Dell needs to do hell of a job marketing their products.
