Niceguy767 Re...<<Hi crazyoldman: Re: "It's amazing how fast and how smooth this processor is." Great testimonial...You should forward your fabulous post to AMD!>>> Iwas going to suggest he send his letter to Mickey Dell and let him know a novice can build an AMD computer and he can't; but when he finds out who did it "a crazyoldman" maybe not.

Re: Processor "smoothness" I was discussing this same issue with a friend of mine just the other day. He is a real techno-nerd and has about eight machines strung together on a LAN in his apartment so he and his friends can play zero-latency Quake 3. In any case, he has two machines identically configured except for the processor--one a PII-450 and the other a K6-2 450. He tells me that he and his roomate both agree that for normal apps (not 3D games) the AMD box is "smoother." Based on my experience with both processors I tend to agree with him--for whatever reason AMD chips at a given MHz just seem more responsive. Kevin
